My vscode can't run any code.I've been trying to fix it for 2-3 days now but that doesn't work.I don't know it about I try to setup c/c++ in vscode about 15 days ago that time it work it can c c++ python however this few day I back to code something and have found can't run any code.
can anyone please suggested solutions.I read previous post about this before but it not the same when I try to run code noting happening and no error.
and about python files must call file like this for run and that file must in Drive C.It unlike normal just press F5 or click runcode then it run.
I want to fix it like before.It mean make it to show the result of my code in visual studio.
If you can't run any code inside VSCode it's most likely the lack of needed extensions causing the problem, you can download extensions by going to the extension menu with ctrl + shift + x and if you are connected to the internet, VSCode will show recommended extensions for you.
About the problem that you can't run a python file outside of the C: drive, I think that the anonymity of your python executor to the CMD is causing this problem.
The easiest way to fix it is to uninstall your python executable with its own installer (the setup.exe file which you installed python with, it can uninstall python too) and installing it again with the difference that you must tick the "add to environment variables" option at the beginning of the installation, then you may be able to run the python executable everywhere with this command:
python example.py
After installing c/c++ extension you might want to go to the extension you downloaded and look under the extension name for other c/c++ extensions you want to install too.
To make intellisense and built-in c/c++ code execution work, download Microsoft's c/c++ extension for the best experience.
May this help you!
Trial 1: Try downgrading your vs-code version and check if problem still persists.
Trial 2: Assuming you don't have code runner, Try installing code runner extension in vs-code and use that for running your program
I was trying to download a GUI, but the terminal kept giving me this error:
Python was not found; run without arguments to install from the Microsoft Store, or disable this shortcut from Settings > Manage App Execution Aliases.
I'm trying to install it using this command:
python -m pip install --upgrade pip setuptools virtualenv
Check your Python version and be sure it is installed on your machine
Check the path environment variable
Go to -> "start" and type "Manage App Execution Aliases". Go to it and turn off "Python"
I was having the same issue and I fixed it by using the below method.
Copy two paths of Python
C:\Users\Maninder\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39
C:\Users\Maninder\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\Scripts
These are the paths where your Python interpreter is installed. Now add this path into your environmental
variable. Put this path into System variable, not in user variable. I was using user variable, so I was facing the issue.
I have a solution for you. Make sure you check the path mark during installation. Then you need to go to Manage App Execution Aliases.
Simply go to your search bar and search for Manage App Execution Aliases. You will find the attached screen and you need to turn off App Installers as you see on the screen. Also, see the path,,, follow Maninder's answer.
Then you are good to go! :)
I had the same issue. In Windows CMD, only: py --version, works.
I tried adding the path on System variables, and it didn't work. If you are using PyCharm as I do, try to run all commands from the IDE's terminal. It usually is on the side bar where the Run and the Console is. If it is not, go to: menu View → Tool Windows → Terminal. It worked just fine for me.
You need to download Python from https://python.org. When in the installation, be sure to check the option that adds Python to PATH.
I haven't gotten this error before and have been using Python a long time, and then suddenly it showed up. I think that it is a result of a Windows update designed to steer you to their store.
In any case: to remedy the problem, go to Settings → app execution aliases → and turn "off" Python. (What they tell you to do, in other words). This should resolve the problem.
If you have installed Python successfully with add python path, ticked on, and have added
C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39
C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\Scripts
to the path into System variables and have turned off the "aliases" and they all didn't work, you can simply use python instead of python3 in your cmd command.
Check the Aliases for App Execution in Windows. Search for Alias App in your Windows toolbar to find the UI for this. Try turning off anything Python related.
Try adding the following to your "Path" environment variable:
C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37
C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37\Scripts
Replace Python37 with your own version.
I solved this problem for Visual Studio Code with just writing "python" in the console:
python
After that, Microsoft Store opens automatically with the Python app:
And I just click Get.
And it all work!
All the previous answers are correct, but in my case, I was getting this, because I was not passing the version...
The fix is passing the version:
py.exe -3 your_program
If you're on Windows, you may want to use the Python installer, in Windows Marketplace.
I faced the same error while using Anaconda and trying to link the Python executable path in the command prompt.
It got rectified by going to Settings → App execution aliases → and turning "off" Python. Then again I had to set the path for Python in Anaconda and was successful in executing "python --version" command.
The same thing happened to me even after trying all the above-mentioned steps.
I just restart my system and it was working fine. Do it and if still doesn't fix the issue then make sure you have checked "add python ( any version ) to PATH" before installing Python.
If none of the previous answers are working, you can check if you have the Python executable in your program files.
Go to C:\Program Files and check if you have the Python application. If not, go to the python download website here and download the .exe file.
While installing you must select "Custom install" and select the location as C:/Program Files.
Install it and it should work now from anywhere. This worked for me!
To sincerely resolve this issue, do the following:
Uninstall the Python instance and reinstall it. Note: Make sure you check
"Add variable PATH".
On the command line, type:
python -m pip install --upgrade pip setuptools virtualenv
I got this issue when I used Visual Studio Code as the IDE, and Anaconda as my Python compiler. And you don't need to close the "app alias" in settings, but copy your python.exe to python3.exe in your Anaconda folder.
That happened to me. So, to fix it, you have to follow the following steps:
Uninstall the Python version you already installed.
Go ahead and open the installation file to reinstall it again.
Before hitting Install Now, make sure to tick the box in front of Add Python to path.
Go ahead and complete the installation procedure as usual.
Steps for installing Python
The problem is more subtle than it seems.
For example, if you are using Visual Studio Code on the bottom left, you should see Python X.X.X xx-bit (the X is the version).
If you click in there you will see where the IDE is getting the python.exe from.
Locate that folder into your file explorer and then just follow the answer that is saying to change the environments variables.
So copy the path where python.exe is and add it to the Path variable and do the same where the Script folder is (it is in the same directory where the python.exe is).
Then of course make sure your IDE is using the right Python.
None of the answers here worked for me. I did this and the error went away.
For Windows 11 which I was using, I reran the python-3.10.5-amd64.exe file from my downloads directory and then chose to modify the installation.
Then I followed these easy steps.
Make sure the PIP component is checked before proceeding to install.
Then check 'Add Python to environment variables' if it's not checked already.
Proceed to Install.
At this point, your error will be solved
If you already have the Python executable on your machine and you are getting this error in Windows 10, search for the Python executable and copy its path then copy the path in system variables. It worked for me.
to check in windows
py --version
or restart your pc first then put htis command again
I am new to Python. Please excuse me if my question seems stupid. I have spent a lot of time before posting this.
When I searched for shipping python interpreter with the applications, I found solutions including installing separate applications, using third party modules, etc...
I was thinking of more direct approach: I first install python interpreter on my machine (windows). Then I ship the installed python interpreter (copy and paste the folder) with the pyc file of my application. And finally I create a simple batch program that executes the interpreter and running the pyc file. In this case, the user can simply run the application by simply running the batch program. I have tried it and it worked.
Although this solution seems the most obvious and the easiest one, I am in a doubt about it because I cannot find any one mentioning it. Is there anything wrong with my solution? I usually create desktop applications for windows.
Thanks in advance.
Make a virtual environment for you application and then run run the command python filename.py --onefile --windowed while still being in the virtual env. activated,
I have windows 10 with 2 user accounts, one is an old one that has Python installed. My latest account also has Python installed. I used pip install tweepy, and it now exists in the site packages. If I open my Python shell (v3.6.5), it imports fine. However, I can't get this to work when switching to Python in cmd. In here, after typing python, it says Python 3.6.6. Obviously they are different, yet they seem to be originating from the same directory.
Any ideas?
[edit] I have just realised that I have an external application that runs on Python 3.6.6., so I guess it's defaulting because of that. However, I can't uninstall that since I need it - is there a way to specify which version of Python is launched when I type python into the cmd?
[edit2]: This is the issue, and the solution there works. However, I want to be able to just type python into cmd, rather than the entire path. Since both exist in the path (and I don't want to remove the other 3.6.6.), is there a way to achieve this?
Have you thought about using a virtual environment?

When you enter "python" into your cmd it searched python.exe in the directories listed on your PATH variable.
All you need to do is to modify your PATH and add the directory path in which the python with the desired version is located.
I just open a .py file on visual-studio-code. And I got a message:Basepath argument is not fully qualified.
Parameter name: basePath. And I can not use python completion. The source of this message is Python(Extension) of Microsoft.
Here is image description
I had the same issue today, and I opened a folder in VSCode(The path of you .py file. You can see the option in your image). It seems that it works for me now. I'm not sure whether it will be helpful to you.
Same thing happened to me, it started today.
I checked my Python install, python path in sys, reinstalled VSCode and no changes.
Im using Python 3.7, win 10.
In the end what solved it for me was in settings.json, in VSCode, set "python.jediEnabled": true and after that VSCode prompted me with a warning that one of the extensions uses the language server (sorry i forgot the name of the extension, it was an old python autocomplete extension), after removing that extension everything was working fine.
As far as i understand it was a problem with the ms language server, jediEnabled setting configures the VSCode to use Jedi as the IntelliSense engine instead of Microsoft Python Language Server, some extensions require ms lang server so if you remove them you should be good.
Give it a try, hope it helps.
I had the same issue yesterday and solved it this afternoon.
The source of this message is also Python(Extension) of Microsoft.
But, and i assume this is maybe the same for you, it was linked to "IntelliCode extension for VS Code (preview)" which asked me to activate pylit.
So the only way i found to repair the software was to delete my preferences files to reset Visual Studio Code and boot like the first time.
Then i re-installed my extensions and preferences.
You do not need to uninstall the soft.
Note that uninstalling Visual Studio Code won't change anything if you don't delete manually the preferences files.
Here how to do it on Windows :
