When I open up my VSCode, I immediately get the message "Python is not installed. Please download and install Python before using the extension." in the bottom right.
When I close VSCode and open it up again, the error message is fixed and it says Python 3.10 in the bottom right. But why didn't it work in the first place?
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling both Python and VSCode, but it still does this.
Is there anything else that I can do to solve this problem?
This may be caused by python extension version.
You can try switching to pre-release version.
Can you check if the python path is added to your environment variables. Also did you install python separately, if you do then there is a small checkbox during installation that you need to tick to add python path to environment variables

Despite im used to program stuff, im new in Python so i decide to learn by myself.
So, i install VS code and python. At the moment i tryied to use stuff like tensorflow, is showing an error saying that my imports are missing.
I've already tryed to install everything again, search for a solution online and nothing worked.
If someone knows anything about how to fix this i'd be greatfull.
Whether there are multiple versions of python in your environment, which will make the pip installed in one version of python instead of the python you are using.
Use shortcuts "Ctrl+shift+P" and type "Python: Select Interpreter" to choose the correct python. Then use pip install packagename to reinstall the package which you need.
Generally, we recommend people new to python to use the conda virtual environment.
Confirm you have downloaded python correctly:
Open terminal
Run python --version
(if that doesn't work try python3 --version
I've tried so many ways to fix this problem, like I've uninstall every python version I've downloaded and reinstall python 3.10.1(Although it show me that it was 3.9.10 when I check it by windows 11 cmd but VScode show me that it was 3.10.1. I have no idea that which I should trust). And I've also tried to install the module again and again(It said I've already install it). Also I can see the module was in my computer, which mean I can see it in the file. What's wrong??? If you know what's happened and you know how to fix it, please tell me! I need your suggestion to fix this stupid problem. Thanks!
It looks like you have multiple python environments and which environment you have installed the python modules was not which you have selected in the VSCode.
In the cmd execute where python to check all the python environments you have installed. In the VSCode click the python interpreter at the bottom-left on the VSCode to switch the python interpreter.
I am using python 3.6.5 with PyCharm.
While trying to install any package, it gives the error
"Try to run this command from the system terminal. Make sure that you use the correct version of 'pip' installed for your Python interpreter located at 'C:\projectPath\venv\Scripts\python.exe'"
Project path and actual python installed paths are different.
In settings of PyCharm, pip version is 19.0.3 and latest version is 19.3.1
Also, "python -m pip --version" from command prompt says pip version is 9.0.3
What do I do?
I imagine that you have more than one Python installed in your system.
you should go to Pycharm --> file> settings> project>project interpreter.
you should find the other Python instance on your system and try to change your interpreter to that one.
if it does not appear in the list click on the button that looks like star in front of the project interpreter.
I had the same problem.
I realized that I installed one python by myself and another is installed while installing PyCharm.
After changing my interpreter I do not receive that error anymore.
This error occurred to me too when using PyCharm, and trying to install MeCab in it. And by choosing mecab-python3 instead of just mecab (which is what is for Python2 I assume...).
You might install the package compatible to the Python version used in the package, but not to yours, which is that PyCharm refers to'dir:\projectPath\venv\Scripts\python.exe' . So you should choose the different version of the package, or change interpreter to another.
I got the same error along with no such option: --build-dir after upgrading pip from PyCharm's (2020.1 #PY-201.6668.115) terminal (PyCharm didn't allow me to do so from interpreter's settings).
Turned out older versions of PyCharm rely on --build-dir which was removed in newer versions of pip. To resolve the issue I had to downgrade pip.
Solution was found here
Faced same issue after trying to change the file path.
Tried changing the interpreter location but it dint work for me. so I uninstalled pycharm and re-installed it. working fine now.
I faced the same problem on Windows-10 (PyCharm 2020.1.2 version) when installing h5py package. I didn't want to change my interpreter as that will raise other compatibility errors in my code.
In my case:
What didn't work: upgrading the pip
What worked: I chose old h5py version-2.10 (instead of the latest h5py version selected by default by PyCharm) and it worked.
Mentioning just in case if this works for someone. Uninstalling both Python and Pycharm is too much to do for this error (in my opinion).
File-> settings
searching for project -> and choosing "python interpreter"
in "python interpreter" tab choosing "show all"
pressing in the left down side on "+" (add)
adding the right direction of python installed place and press "ok"
removing the previous version
I faced the same error while using Python 3.7.5 and Pycharm 2019.1.2 for my Django project.
It also causes failure in execution of many other python commands, and is not caused by environment variables or path.
I guess it's because some python files are broken or corrupted.
The easiest and fastest way I found to get out of this was :-
Uninstall Python.
Uninstall Pycharm.
And Reinstall latest versions of both.
I had the same problem and but see solution uninstall IDLE python and pycharm and install least version
Uninstall Python.
Uninstall Pycharm.
And Reinstall latest versions of both.
My python installation is a mess.
Therefore I'd like to reinstall the entire installation of it. (Unfortunately,) I've also installed QGIS and PyCharm (mostly making it a mess) and I want to start clean..!
So, what is the best way to get rid of every little python thingy and what are the best packages/methods for reinstalling Python27, QGIS and PyCharm? Should I go for osgeo or not, should I first install Pycharm or Python etc. Hopefully you have some good thoughts and tools on this. I'm a fan of pip, so in the end I hope its possible just to use pip for installing the packages all around.
I'm working on Windows 7, 64bit (thanks for the headsup Karel)
Go to add/remove programs in windows and uninstall everything. Then reinstall everything. Do your Python install first and PyCharm should detect everything. I'd suggest doing the 32 bit Python install as some packages aren't compiled for 64 bit and it makes things a bit challenging to find and install them.
Pip is standard in the python install now. You'll see a check box in the installer for it, which is pre-checked. I'd change your install directory to something simple like C:\Python27
Other than that it should be pretty straightforward. However I doubt you really need to uninstall Python. You can just go to settings and under the interpreter section add the C:\Python27 directory. PyCharm is constantly scanning for installed modules, so it will know in real time that you've installed them. You can even install packaged via PIP while PyCharm is open and within second PyCharm will recognize it as a valid package.
If you're missing packages you can also import them in PyCharm and when you get the red underline saying it's missing, hover your mouse over it and hit alt+enter and you'll get a menu to install it.
I used to compile on Spyder at work, so I downloaded Anaconda 4.2 with Python 3.5 64bit for installing it on my own PC too.
But it doesn't work!
Every time I try to open spyder or a Notebook, or even the Anaconda Navigator, it crashes and an error message of "Python stop working"
I tried to open spyder from command prompt too, to no avail.
On the other hand, if I open a Python shell from Windows Command Prompt, it works.
Any ideas?
You should tell us the exact and complete error message that you got. But you should probably uninstall Anaconda and all its parts (including Python), delete the .anaconda and related sub-folders in your Users folder, then reinstall Anaconda. If that doesn't work, let us know. Don't skip deleting those sub-folders: I solved one of my problems by doing that.
Check your firewall (try disabling it temporarily). That turned out to be the issue in my case (after trying to reinstall different versions of spyder/anaconda 20 times).
Run the following command conda update --all on Ananconda Prompt to solve this issue. In my case, it ended up downgrading Spyder from 4.0.1 to 3.3.5 (2 versions behind). If the version does not matter much to you, this will fix the error.
