I simply want be able to execute python commands in VSCode.
I have already installed it by the marketplace and the main software on my computer.
Once I would have finished the python problem I am looking to install brownie, but I first need the ability to execute python commands in the VSCode terminal "pip install...".
Can you help me out?

Description
I have been using VSCode for a while now. Currently, the Code Runner extension enables me to run Python scripts, using custom commands. However, I would like to know if VSCode is able to perform additional actions, compared to the Code Runner extension, which just runs my custom command pipenv run python -u {open_file_path}.
Goal
I currently use pipenv for my Python projects. I would like VSCode to launch a pipenv shell and execute a couple of commands to run my Python scripts.
Here are the steps I hope VSCode is able to automate when pressing F5 to start debugging.
Launch a pipenv shell if one is not already launched.
pipenv shell
Change directory to code source directory.
cd {project_root/src}
Run the script inside the pipenv shell.
python {open_file_path}
I have read that the launch.json is able to run preLaunchTask. It seems that it could resolve point one of launching pipenv shell. I am still trying to figure out how this works.
Any help or pointers is greatly appreciated.

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
I've gotten this to work relatively easy on my Mac I with django but for some reason Windows has been a heartache.
the problem is that in the console I can only get py to start executing python.
python and python3 do not work whatsoever
and also I can't get pip to install either because the py command won't execute it but python and python3 just open the windows store.
I've installed python to the path with the installer and I made the location of the file C:\Python\Python39
changed the hierarchy in the PATH in user variables and system variables to where python is at the top in both.
I've edited the vscode settings
I've also turned off the App execution aliases. That did nothing.
I'm at a complete loss so if any one has any advice I'd be so appreciative.

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.
I seem to have problem launching python from command line. I tried various things with no success.
Problem: When trying to run python from the command line, there is no response i.e. I do not get message about 'command not found' and console does not launch. Only option to open python console is to run C:\Python34\python.exe directly. Running using python command does not work even when in the python directory but python.exe launches. Issue with the launching this way is that python console is launched in new window. This whole problem is present only on one machine while on my other machine I am able to run python correctly and console launches in the command prompt window from which the python command was executed.
PATH is correctly set to
C:\Python34\;C:\Python34\Scripts;...
and where python correctly returns C:\Python34\python.exe. I verified that running other commands imported through PATH (such as javac) run correctly.
Things I tried:
Completely re-installing python both with x86 and x64 python installations with no success.
Copy installation from my second machine and manually set the path variables - again no success.
Can anyone hint how to resolve this behavior?
(Additional info: Win 8.1 x64, python 3.4.2)
Issue resolved. Since no feasible solution was found in 2 days, I decided to wipe all keys containing 'python' from registry as well as some files that were not parts of other programs. This resolved the issue after re-installing python.
If anyone finds the true cause of this misbehavior and other - less brutal - solution, please write it here for future reference.
Recent Python installer has option to add PATH.
If you didn't use it, you can register directory where python.exe is to PATH environment variable.
But I prefer py launcher. It may be installed via Python 3.3 or 3.4.
With it, you can start Python via py or py -3.4.
