Was just trying out making an environment via python and Django, but i keep running into this issue where the python interpreter does not seem to understand.
I have use source bin/activate as well, but to no avail.
.\test.com_env\Scripts\activate.ps1 :
The term '.\test.com_env\Scripts\activate.ps1' is not recognized
as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program.
Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included,
verify that the path is correct and try again.
At line:1 char:1
.\test.com_env\Scripts\activate.ps1
Had the same problem on Windows 10. My solution was: From the outer folder to the virtual environment folder, I performed the following command line:
You can try:
.\test.com_env\Scripts\activate
I didn't have to add the extension.ps1.
You should check the location from where the above command line is being executed.

I have the same old problem of python not being recognized and get this error in VS:
[Running] python -u "c:\Users\Keram\Desktop\WEB\index.py"
'python' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
the solution is said to be putting the path of the python file where it is installed in the PATH of the environment.
but I had the same issue with node.js and had to put its path as the environment variable path.
now if I add python's path, I would not have node.js.
what am I supposed to ?
You can set path for node and python both, it doesn't affect anything.
Just go to environment variables, click path, edit, and then add the path of python executable file.
Then just restart/reopen the terminal and check.
I had the issue with python where the name was python3 not the python
Renaming solved that issue too.
Hope it helps.!
I am trying to create a virtual environment in VS code to make a flask app. After I run the command in the VS code terminal pip install virtualenv everything downloads find but I get the error WARNING: The script virtualenv.exe is installed in
C:\Users\NAME\AppData\Local\Packages\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.9_qbz5n2kfra8p0\LocalCache\local-packages\Python39\Scripts' which is not on PATH.
Consider adding this directory to PATH or, if you prefer to suppress this warning, use --no-warn-script-location.
Then when I try to create my virtual environment by using this command virtualenv env I get the error
virtualenv : The term 'virtualenv' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.
Are you using Python from the Windows Store? You'd better avoid it.
You can download the python from the official site.
And then create the virtual environment through venv.
You can refer to official docs for more details of the virtual environment created.
This is happening because the directory (as mentioned by you)
C:\Users\NAME\AppData\Local\Packages\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.9_qbz5n2kfra8p0\LocalCache\local-packages\Python39\Scripts' which is not on PATH.
is not added to your PATH
Consider this link Add to the PATH on Windows 10 and add the directory to the PATH.
It's gonna solve your problem.
The same issue happened to me it solve it as said above.
I just installed python on VS Code and I can't run any python code using python command.
python command:
Running the code seems to run python command by default and it does not recognize it.
When I right click and choose Run Code it complains:
'python' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file
Same goes for manually running python main.py.
When I open an elevated PowerShell and run python, it complains:
python : The term 'python' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program.
Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

py command:
It doesn't try to use py command but it recognizes it. And when I manually call py main.py, it works.
When I manually do >py main.py it writes my Goodbye, World!
Question:
How can I make it compile/run in VS Code simply by using the CodeRunner's right-click feature (Run Code)?
I already have both Python folder and its Scripts folder in PATH.
I'm using VS Code 1.27.2 and I have installed python 3.7.0 on my machine and have checked its installer checkbox for adding the environment variables automatically. (PATH is ok)
I also installed : ms-python.python and tht13.python and formulahendry.code-runner extensions on the VS Code.
This is my main.py code:
print("Goodbye, World!")
It turned out that I just had to restart my computer after I installed ms-python.python and tht13.python and formulahendry.code-runner extensions on the VS Code and added python's Scripts folder in PATH.
Now both py and python commands work from anywhere like cmd or Run Code in the right click menu.
Restarting your PC after installing the Python Extension and changing the PATH to include Python and it's scripts folder will help. Worked for me
The Windows installer for Python does not put python on your path by default (there's a checkbox during installation to add it). Make sure that you selected an interpreter that's installed by running Select Interpreter and choosing the interpreter you want (the extension will find them through the registry).
I also had this problem after a fresh Windows reinstallation, vscode didnt recognize the commands like python or pip freeze in the PS terminal.
After reinstalling python and vscode, I read the tutorial for python for vscode: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/python-tutorial. Creating a new venv worked for me py -3 -m venv .venv, then navigate to the venv: .venv\scripts\activate. In the new venv all the python commands worked as normal.
If you have already set the path variable, test the same command in a command prompt and see if it works. If it does, just update PowerShell's path settings by running the following from your vs code PowerShell terminal:
$env:Path = [System.Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable("Path","Machine") + ";" +
[System.Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable("Path","User")`
This trick can save you a lot of restarts.
you need to first confirm if python is installed, for that just run python/python3 on terminal/cmd.
If it runs there and it isn't running in VS Code then restart your system in order to get changes reflected.
And if it doesn't run in terminal/cmd as well then first check if python's directories are placed in environment variables.
Add Python path (ex C:\Users\johndoe\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39) to the %PATH% env variable
I added PATH and did everything. but it didn't work on Vscode Powershell.
but python was working in windows CMD. So I just reinstalled Vscode.
I am trying to access Python through a Windows command prompt, but am at an office and cannot add an Environment Variable. So, I cant follow the advice provided here. Thus, I added a User Environment Variable through User Accounts and use Variable:python and Value: C:\Python33. When I do a Windows Run check on %python% I reach the required Python33 folder. However, when I type python -Version in the command prompt I get the error 'python' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. I am not sure how to proceed.
Run Python from the command prompt and include the full path to python.exe. For example to get the version:
C:\Python33\python.exe --version
When you run a script you specify the path to the script if you're not in the directory where the script is located. For example, if your script is in C:\scripts and is called my_script.py:
C:\Python33\python.exe C:\scripts\my_script.py
Instead of setting environment variables, you can use the whole path, like Neo wrote e.g.:
C:\Python33\python.exe yourPythonScript.py
Remove any environment variables you have added.
C:\Python33\python.exe pyscript.py should work.
I once Had a similar problem, but i couldnt find any solution, not even adding the path to the python folder was working.
Then I opened Python and clicked in File, then browser path, and I found that I had another folder that contained the real Python folder, not the default one. Maybe it could work for you too.
When I type python in PowerShell I get an error like:
Program 'python' failed to execute: The system cannot find the file specified
At line:1 char:11
+ python.exe <<<< .

I have added C:\Python27 and its sub directories to PATH. I can run it by typing python.exe. Can run scripts the same way.
I installed Python 2.7.11 64 bit.
The only way I can reproduce your error is if I replace my python.exe file with a new empty text file named python.exe.
First Steps
I notice you mentioned that you added C:\Python27 and all subdirectories to your PATH. I would first suggest to remove all the subdirectories (just leaving the parent directory) from your path. Make sure you restart Powershell after making this change to pull in the new values. Then test it to see whether this has resolved the issue.
Alternative solution
The other possibility is that somewhere on your path you have either a corrupted python.exe or some other cmdlet, function or script file that is shadowing your python installation. You could try running from within powershell:
Get-Command python | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Definition
to see what powershell is actually referencing.* If the only value returned is C:\Python27\python.exe then I would probably suggest a reinstall.

I ran into this problem recently. To fix it, I had to edit the PATH environment variable to ensure my installed location of Python 3 came before C:\cygwin64\bin, which has a softlink of python to an older version.
Technically one could also launch the Cygwin install utility and remove the older python to fix it as well.
However all I did was to right click on the My Computer icon, select properties, then clicked on Advanced systems settings in order to open the Windows System Properties dialog. From there I selected the Environment Variables button. Then I saw, again in my case, that C:\cygwin64\bin was listed in the PATH environment variable twice, once in the user variables section and also once in the System variables section. I re-ordered Python38 to be first in my user variables PATH environment and deleted the C:\cygwin64\bin entry from the System variables PATH environment. Then clicked OK and opened a new Terminal in VS code, and all is good.
