Error occurring while installing and importing pynput

So I am trying to install and import pynput in VSCode but its showing me an error every time I try to do it. I used VSCode's in-built terminal to install it using pip and typed the following :
pip install pynput but this error is shown : Fatal error in launcher: Unable to create process using '"c:\users\vicks\appdata\local\programs\python\python38-32\python.exe" "C:\Users\vicks\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38-32\Scripts\pip.exe" install pynput': The system cannot find the file specified
After receiving the following error, I tried using CMD to install it but the same error is shown. I also tried using python pip install pynput and it shows Python was not found; run without arguments to install from the Microsoft Store, or disable this shortcut from Settings > Manage App Execution Aliases. even though I have python 3.9.7 and I have selected it as my interpreter in VSCode and I have IDLE(Python 64 bit) installed. How may I resolve the following error? Any help regarding the same is appreciated
Thanks in advance :)

There's no such thing as an in-built terminal in VS code. When you open a terminal in VS Code, it opens the default, which on Windows is usually equivalent to opening up CMD.
If you selected Python 3.9.7 as your default interpreter in VS Code, it does not mean that it will visible to your CMD / terminal. It just means that the VS Code IDE will refer to that instance of Python when launching the program from VS Code itself using the green button (or F5), and when scanning your code to point out missing packages, etc.
CMD will only automatically detect your Python if it's in your PATH environment variable. You should add the Python 3.9.7 base and Scripts path to this.
Also, it would be best if you could first uninstall conflicting versions (like your 3.8.x) of Python and remove them from PATH, assuming that this won't cause any problems for you. Perhaps keep a record all the installed packages in this old version of Python for future reference using pip freeze or pip list.

Check if c:\users\vicks\appdata\local\programs\python\python38-32\python.exe exists by typing cd c:\users\vicks\appdata\local\programs\python\python38-32

Can you help me out?

Vscode python interactive window timed out on running python script on other conda environment apart from base environment

In vscode, While running my python script on interactive python window in other conda environment (apart from base environment), I get the following error -
'Timed out waiting to get a heartbeat from kernel process.'
Script works fine in base environment but not in other envrionments. Also, this is specific for python interactive window. It works fine in terminal.
Has anyone faced this issue as well?

According to your description, code works fine in base environment and terminal, while got error in other conda and interactive window. So try to solve the problem with following steps:
Create a new conda environment, reference: python-environments
To use the window with a .py file, select the Run Current File in Python Interactive window command from the Command Palette. More information and details you can reference: python-interactive.
Here you'll get the output. The following is a demo screenshot.
Considering your question is related to python extension, if the above not work, reinstall python extension and try again.

Running pyspark in (Anaconda - Spyder) in windows OS

Dears,
I am using windows 10 and I am familiar with testing my python code in Spyder.
however, when I am trying to write ïmport pyspark" command, Spyder showing "No module named 'pyspark'"
Pyspark is installed in my PC and also I can do import pyspark in command prompt without any error.
I found many blogs explaining how to do this in Ubuntu but I did not find how to solve it in windows.

Well for using packages in Spyder, you have to install them through Anaconda. You can open
"anaconda prompt" and the write down the blew code:
conda install pyshark
That will give you the package available in SPYDER.

Hi I have installed Pyspark in windows 10 few weeks back. Let me tell you how I did it.
I followed "https://changhsinlee.com/install-pyspark-windows-jupyter/".
So after following each step precisely you can able to run pyspark using either command promp or saving a python file and running.
When you run via notebook(download Anaconda). start anacoda shell and type pyspark. now you don't need to do "ïmport pyspark".
run your program without this and it will be alright. you can also do spark-submit but for that I figured out that you need to remove the PYSPARK_DRIVER_PATH and OPTS PATH in environment variable.

Script works in spyder but not in anaconda prompt

After 2 weeks, my request to install anaconda at work finally got accepted and after small struggles with windows (coming from mac) I finally got my script working but now I can't seem to execute my script outside of the spyder editor included in anaconda. I want to run my script over Anaconda Prompt but whenever I run the script I get the following error:
Since the error already occurs in the first line I will spare you the rest of the code. But as mentioned before, the script works perfectly fine in spyder but causes an SyntaxError in anaconda prompt. The referenced cmd module is this one: https://docs.python.org/3.4/library/cmd.html
Note: I tried pip installing cmd but couldn't. I am guessing because of my missing admin rights. Instead I just copied the code for the module into a py file into the folder of my project. It works completely fine in spyder.
