Pydev finds out about the interpreter by running python_executable_provided plugins/org.python.pydev_xxx/PySrc/interpreterInfo.py
And gets the actual executable in that script accessing 'import sys;print(sys.executable)"... in your case, your custom interpreter should have the sys.executable as itself, but it appears it's pointing to /usr/bin/python instead (so, your custom interpreter should be fixed to handle that).
