I can run python in the terminal but it shows that the python interpreter is not found and when I run the file it shows the python path in your debug configuration is invalid.
click to see image
when i click on select python interpreter, it shows this, and yes the file path is completely valid
python works perfectly fine in terminal
Try the Python Extension in VS-Code. Go on the left to "Extensions", type "Python", go for the first one or which ever you like (I chose the first). You´ll probably need to select your python interpreter again after this

I was trying learning about logging in python for the first time today. i discovered when i tried running my code from VS Code, i received this error message
/bin/sh: 1: python: not found however when i run the code directly from my terminal, i get the expected result. I need help to figure out the reason for the error message when i run the code directly from vscode
I've tried checking the internet for a suitable solution, no fix yet. i will appreciate your responses.
Python Interpreter to be set up. Many ways mentioned in the vs code documentation https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/environments, here easiest would be to open command palette and search for python interpreter and there you can enter the path of python/python3 installed.
You can use shortcuts "Ctrl+Shift+P" and type "Python: Select Interperter" to choose the python interpreter.
You can also click the button in the lower right.
The error message you are receiving indicates that the "python" executable is not found in the PATH environment variable of the terminal you are using from within Visual Studio Code.
Add the location of the Python executable to the PATH environment variable in your terminal.
Specify the full path to the Python executable in your Visual Studio Code terminal.
You can find the full path to the Python executable by running the command "which python" in your terminal.
I have been trying to change my python interpreter on sublime text and VS code and no matter what I do, both of them refuse to change. It always picks the default Python 2.7 version.
On sublime, I tried to create a new build tool, added the path to Python3 but nothing is working.
And on, VS code, even if I select Python3 from the drop-down menu, it doesn't change anything.
I changed the system's default python interpreter from 2.7 to 3.9 and set the path on bash profile. It fixed the issue for me.
I don't know about Sublime, but for VS Code, there looks to be quite a few things to verify:
Check your User Settings on whether you've set up a default interpreter for your applications
Are you using Window 10 WSL? Then you might want to check out issue 3227 for vscode-remote-release where the comment was:
So I was having this same exact issue until I read this article on a wsl tutorial. In there it says we should have "Remote - WSL" extension installed (already did). In the bottom left corner "Remote - WSL" installs a status button that has the "greater than" and "less than" symbols displayed. If you click that button and tell VSCode to open up in the remote WSL distro environment it fixed my issue where vscode was unable to find an interpreter for python.
For Sublime, you need to hit ⌘B with your script pane focused in order to use your new python3.sublime-build build system.
It looks like you are running your script within Terminus, which is fine, but you need to use the python3 command when running it from the command line, even if that command line is within Sublime.
Please check out my answer here on how to make a Python build system that accepts user input, as the Sublime "console" doesn't allow you to interact with your program. Since you already have Terminus installed, I'd recommend going down to the bottom of the answer and using the Terminus build system. That way, you won't have to deal with Terminal windows opening every time you run a build.
The terminal window uses your PATH, not the IDE settings, so manually typing out python --version isn't testing anything except the PATH variable
In order for the terminal to use the "correct" python binary you've specified, it would need to give the absolute path to it, which I believe using Command+B (using the build options) in Sublime would do. Similarly, you can use the Run/Debug Configurations in VSCode.
Or you can modify your ~/.zshrc to fix your PATH, for example installing pyenv to change the entire system Python version, or the one for the current folder
In Visual Studio Code, I have installed Python and Code Runner to be able to run my Python code. I get an error whenever I try to run my Python code. When I press "Select Python interpreter" in the purple bar below, I then try to choose one(Python 3.8.1 32-bit), but another error comes up again saying "Failed to set 'pythonPath'.....".
The error when trying to run the code says: 'python' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
Please help, what should I do?
The reason is that in VS Code, as a code editor, it needs to find python installed outside VS Code to run python code. Therefore, we need to ensure that python is available:
Please check whether the python environment variable contains "Python 3.8.1" you are using. And please reopen VS Code after setting.
Reference: python environment variable.
This might be because python is not added to your path.
To edit your system variables do the following:
Search for system variables in your win search bar. This should open this window.
Click on Environment Variables and then select Path from System Variables.
Click on Edit. Now add a field there containing the complete address to your Python Script folder like this.
The path should look like this
C:\Users\{your username}\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38-32\Scripts\
Click on ok and check by typing python in your vscode integrated terminal.
I am running Windows 10. I have recently changed location to my python folder and interpreter.
Unfortunately, when i now run python scripts in command prompt, I always have to type "python" before the name of the script I want to run.
Running the script directly - for example: C:\Python 37\mypythonscript.py -generates absolutely no reaction from the command prompt. I simply get back directly to C:\Python37>
If I however run C:\Python 37\python mypythonscript.py, the script is properly executed.
I have changed all the file associations using "ftype" and "assoc" in the command prompt. When I start command prompt and type "python", the python compiler correctly starts.
My problem is that I always have to type "python" before the name of my script for the command prompt to recognize that it needs to execute python.
I would like to open command, change directory to the directory with my python scripts, and simply run the python scripts by running the name of the scripts (mypythonscript.py) without having to type "python" in front of it.
Could you please help me identify what is wrong? How can I once again run python scripts in the command prompt without having to type "python" in front of the script's name?
Thank you in advance.
If you use a python 3 Virtualenv in powershell the above problem can be very confusing. Typically "py .\yourscript.py" or "py .\yourscript" will work but ".\yourscript.py" or ".\yourscript" will fail and might return a "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '<module>' " error.
This happens because your .py association is not correct as described by Eryk Sun in the above second remark. The "py launcher" he names is, in most cases, "C:\Windows\py.exe". I my case it was already installed and I just needed to adjust the .py extension as described by him. It can also be done via the "Choose default apps by file type" settings.
A useful help is to define "$env:PYLAUNCH_DEBUG=1" in your powershell. After that "py .\yourscript.py" will have extra output showing where your python executable is found.
If there is no extra output it means, as before, that you don't have ".py" associated with "py.exe". If you start a "cmd" and "ftype python.file" looks ok, you need to read Eryk Sun's first remark :-)
I have encountered an error while try to run a python 3.6.4 script after upgrading from 2.7.
I had initial installed both python 2.7 and 3.6 but them deleted 2.7 because I had no use for it and i am not getting this error.
I have tried:
Reinstalling python 3.6.4
changing the install location of said install
Repairing the python 3.6 install
Error:
A Python script by itself is not an executable program. So if you want to run the script Evosim.py by just entering Evosim.py in the command line, the .py file ending needs to be associated with the Python interpreter. It seems that currently in your system this is not the case.
There are two ways to deal with your situation:
Start your script by entering python Evosim.py instead of only Evosim.py in the command line.
Fix the broken association of the .py file ending with the Python interpreter. The answers to this question migth help you with that.
Solution #1
Go to your registry by searching regedit.
Open category HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT. Select .py. If .py don't exists then make it by yourself.
Double click the Default. It will make a popup. Change its value to Python.IDLE and click OK. Make a new String key in .py naming Content Type with value text/plain.
Solution #2
If the above method don't works then just go ahead and reinstall your python (also uninstall Python Launcher). Your modules and files will be at their place.
You can now open .py files.
Running command prompt as an administrator resolved my issue, and able to execute my python script
1). Right click any python file
2). Click Open with then Choose another app
3). Click on More apps then Look for another app on this PC. It should open up file explorer
4). Select python.exe wherever it is located.
A sample path is C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38\python.exe for a user installation. A way to check this path is by typing where python into cmd; it will list all installations of Python.
Now the python.exe you chose is associated with all .py files and typing file.py should not give an error.
