• Set an invalid pythonPath in settings.json
• Python extension does not load, instead we get an error Extension host terminated
• Error message displayed indicates the extension host terminates with the error SIGPIPE signal.

Unfortunately I'm no longer able to replicate this.

Note: When a SIGPIPE event is received, the process terminates.

Cause:

• Jedi process does not load (as pythonPath is invalid)
• When attempting to write into stdin, the host process crashes:
  this.proc.stdin.write(`${JSON.stringify(payload)}\n`);

Two solutions

• Add handler for SIGPIPE signal, log the errors
• Ensure we do not instantiate jedi process if pythonPath is invalid

Unfortunately this isn't the cause fo #342, as this is a Mac issue.
