I am getting this message on the VS Code that "Python is not installed. Please download and install python before using the extension." There is also the "Select Python Interpreter" on the bottom left hand side of VS Code.
P.s: I installed Python through Anaconda
Select Python Interpreter
Proof that path is correct for python.exe
I do have Python and Python extension installed which works within the VS Code terminal.
Working Python in VS Code Terminal
Thank you in advance for your help!.
what you can do is click on enter an interpreter path and then click Find and select the python.exe file manually. that will create a .vscode folder with the settings.json file.
and as the conda environment (base) is active, you can just write python3 main.py to run the file.

I have installed python using Visual Studio, but I can't use python from the command prompt. I also want to run python from the command prompt, but it is only accessible from Visual Studio. I have tried adding the path of the directory in which Visual Studio has installed python to the user environment variables, but typing python in the command prompt opens up Windows Store.
Please somebody help me with this. Is there any way around or do I have to install python separately too.
go to python.org and download the latest version of python (You can download it from the windows store too). Then open a new terminal and write python --version.
NOTE: Don`t forget the open a new terminal.
step1 : install the python from python.org (dont forget to check the PATH installation radio button)
step2: check the python from CMD with command :
python --version
step3: go the project directory and run :
python your_project_file_name.py
thanks for replying. I figured out the answer myself, and thought to answer it for anyone in the future who comes across the same issue.
I went into settings->Apps
Find the python installation and click on it, select modify.
Then click on "modify installation" when the python installation repair window opens, then again click on "modify", make sure to select "Add python to path", and also py launcher option also.
That fixed the problem for me.
Thanks, again.
I am having an issue with opening and running python on VS Code. In particular, I cannot open any python interpret regardless of having python installed on the computer and the python extension in VS code.
1 week ago, there was no issue with that, I opened VS Code, followed the instructions and python was running (however without any packages or libraries). Because I use python for Data Science projects, I decided to integrate Jupyter notebook - here again, no issues.
Afterwards, I got the idea that I should be able to import libraries and run codes in file_name.py, not only file_other_name.ipynb, so I was trying to create an environment in my project folder that will store installed packages by typing py -3 -m venv .venv .venv\scripts\activate and python -m pip install matplotlib in the terminal. Unfortunately, that did not work when running a basic script - getting a message "Activate.ps1 is not digitally signed. You cannot run this script on the current system."
Hence, I set up the powershell to Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted. Once, I restarted VS Code, the current environment started showing a message 'Select Python Interpret'. I tried to reinstall the python extension and select from the Command Palette (Ctrl + Shift + P) any of the python interprets, that it is giving me but nothing happens. The message does not change regardless of how many times I have specified which interpret to open. Any idea how I can open the python interpret once again?
enter image description here
There's a default setting called "python.terminal.activateEnvironment": true, so every time you create an virtual environment and select it as your interpreter, don't forget to open a new integrated Terminal(Ctrl+Shift+`) to activate it.
[EDIT]
When you open a new integrated Terminal, there'll be an statement executed automatically: that's a file in your created .venv, which is by red underlined in the following screenshot. Then you get a virtual name prefix before PS, that means you've activated it successfully.
If the Activate.ps1 isn't executed automatically, turn to the .venv folder, copy its absolute path then run it in Terminal still can activate the environment.
Then go on development, like installing the required module:
I used sublime text till now for python, but today I installed wing personal for python.
I installed the module "sympy" both manually and by pip. I worked fine in sublime text, but when I wrote import sympy in the wing ide, it showed this error:
builtins.ImportError: No module named sympy. What is happening?
I use wing personal, os: windows 10
Take a look at Show Python Environment in the Source menu and compare the interpreter there to the value of sys.executable (after 'import sys') in Python outside of Wing or in Sublime. You are probably not using the same interpreter.
This can be changed from Project Properties in the Project menu by setting Python Executable under the Environment tab:
If you're using a base install of Python then select Command Line and select the interpreter from the drop down or enter the full path to python or python.exe.
If you're using a virtualenv you can also do that and enter the virtualenv's Python or select Activated Env and enter the path to the virtualenv's activate.
I'm working with Django right now and when I installed it through the command prompt I made a virtualenv called test, now I went into vs code and I am trying to open it up by saying workon test but it's not going into the virutalenv. I am on windows and I am using visual studio code.
To open virtual env through command prompt,
run, activate.bat
\test\Scripts\activate.bat
for bash run,
source test/bin/activate
just go to the left below corner where your python version is written click it, it will open the command palette where select the virtual env. (with its name) that's is test and press ok.
After that open new terminal and you will get what you want
In cmd typing test/Scripts/activate worked, but in vscode terminal, I had to cd till the Scripts and then type .\activate.
I installed python virtual env. I use vs code. I imported scrapy in my code and vs code doesn't recognize the module. Actually, it works well when I run it. scrapy crawl tester
Just, vs code shows red underlines that mean "Unable to import scrapy" So this is just vs code issue, not venv or scrapy package install issue.
This code works well and actuallay, scrapy is imported without any issue. This is just vs code issue. Thank you.
You might be able to solve your problem by using CTRL+Shift+P to add "Python: Select Interpreter" to your project.
If you created a virtual environment and activated it as well
type which python on macOS/Linux,
type where python on Windows,
inside the activated terminal session.
(env) userpc#pc:~$ which python
/home/userpc/Desktop/foldername/env/bin/python
In VSCode press Ctrl+Shift+P, under >Select Interpreter paste the location you receive using the former command.
Once done, restart VSCode.
VSCode will also ask you to install pylint in your environment and if it doesn't you can do the same by activating you environment and typing
pip install pylint
inside the activated terminal session.
Ran into the same problem - selected the correct Python interpreter in VS Code, pip installed all the desired Python libraries but import is still underlined in VS Code.
What you need to do
What worked for me is to make sure that the linter that you are using in this VS Code instance (I was using pylint) is from the bin folder of the virtual environment, not somewhere else.
How you can do it
I'll use the absolute path to the desired virtual environment /User/ProjectFolder/env as an example.
To check that you meet the conditions stated in What you need to do, toggle the settings.json file in VS Code by pressing ⌘ + ,:
Make sure that the correct Python interpreter is selected. i.e. "python.pythonPath":/User/ProjectFolder/env/bin/python3.
Make sure that the linter (e.g. pylint) is located in that bin folder, not anywhere else. i.e "python.linting.pylintPath":/User/ProjectFolder/env/bin/pylint, NOT something like "python.linting.pylintPath":/usr/local/bin/pylint.
This means that you have to install your desired linter in the virtual environment.
Hope this helps.
I tried #cleon-w's answer which worked for me. (Thanks Cleon)
I was using pyenv on my Mac M1 (Big Sur) with vscode. vscode could not resolve the
paths to python that the pyenv provides, so I looked within the pyenv scripts to find the absolute paths
to the underlying python and the pylint files.
As #Cleon W says I ensured pylint and python are in the same bin directory.
Then edit VS Code settings.json to point to them directly (bypass .pyenv) and the imports could be found.
settings.json (vscode)
"python.defaultInterpreterPath": "/Users/USERNAME/.pyenv/shims/python",
"python.pythonPath": "/Users/USERNAME/.pyenv/versions/3.9.1/bin/python",
I have similar problem with Django. What solved my problem was:
create .vscode/settings.json file inside root dir for project.
add this json {"python.defaultInterpreterPath": "path to bin directory in root dir for project"}
Ctrl-Shif-P -> Python: Select Interpreter -> select one that said: Use Python from python.defaultInterpreterPath. If it's not in the list, hit refresh (circled refresh button on the top of settings box).
