I was having some issues with my .virtualenv folders (had 2 projects working in parallel, and one virtual environment was looking at the other), so I manually deleted them and re-did a pipenv/pip install of just 1 project. I verified that the new folders for the same project got created. However, when I try to debug the project using Visual Studio Code, it gives me this error:
& : The term 'C:\Users\userId\.virtualenvs\project-1abcde2S\Scripts\python.exe' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name,
or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.
Where the project-1abcde2S points to the folders I deleted. Is there anyway to ensure that new virtual environments get picked up in Visual Studio code? any other tips on debugging a Django project would be helpful!
When you first select an environment for a workspace it gets written to your .vscode/settings.json configuration file. It sounds like you just need to update that setting by selecting your new environment.

I am trying to create a virtual environment in VS code to make a flask app. After I run the command in the VS code terminal pip install virtualenv everything downloads find but I get the error WARNING: The script virtualenv.exe is installed in
C:\Users\NAME\AppData\Local\Packages\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.9_qbz5n2kfra8p0\LocalCache\local-packages\Python39\Scripts' which is not on PATH.
Consider adding this directory to PATH or, if you prefer to suppress this warning, use --no-warn-script-location.
Then when I try to create my virtual environment by using this command virtualenv env I get the error
virtualenv : The term 'virtualenv' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.
Are you using Python from the Windows Store? You'd better avoid it.
You can download the python from the official site.
And then create the virtual environment through venv.
You can refer to official docs for more details of the virtual environment created.
This is happening because the directory (as mentioned by you)
C:\Users\NAME\AppData\Local\Packages\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.9_qbz5n2kfra8p0\LocalCache\local-packages\Python39\Scripts' which is not on PATH.
is not added to your PATH
Consider this link Add to the PATH on Windows 10 and add the directory to the PATH.
It's gonna solve your problem.
The same issue happened to me it solve it as said above.
'django-admin' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file... So I am getting this error in terminal. I am trying to build an app. First I opened a folder(page) in my computer D drive and then opened Visual Studio Code. From there I opened the folder(page) and from view I opened terminal. Then when I am trying to type django-admin myproject page. it is showing this error.
As you are using conda environment, use conda activate to activate the environment, and then you can use the Django module.
This error is occurring due to the missing Django module.
If you're using a virtual environment, do you have it activated?
Is you you python scripts folder in PATH?
On windows: Search for 'Edit the system environment variables'.
Click on 'Environment Variables...'
In System Variables look for row with variable name Path. Click on it and then Edit.
You'll see a number of directories. Do you see one ending with something like ..\Python\Python39\Scripts?
If you have that folder open it and make sure you have django-admin.exe inside.
(Beginner) I am working with a virtualenv for a django project using my Macos terminal and Visual Studio Code.
Recently, my terminal disappeared where I was running all of my code and I do not know how to reenter my virtualenv or my project that I still have on Visual Studio Code. I have tried everything including:
source virtualenv/bin/activate
Or,
virtualenv/source/activate
Or,
cd my_project_name
and then trying to enter my virtualenv following this step (^) with the commands above.
Nothing is working and when I run "python manage.py runserver" it says there is no such file or directory. I am struggling and do not know how to continue my current project on django before getting back to my project and virtualenv.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Visual studio code actually has a convenient way of keeping track of virtual environments. At the very bottom in the blue footer bar, click next to the refresh icon, and you should see whether it's available.
If it's really gone, don't sweat it. Virtual environments are completely expendable – it'll turn up. For now, just make another, and be sure you create it in your project's root directory this time.
You actually usually don't need to activate a venv with vscode. Just cd into the project root directory and open vscode with code .. The activated envionment will appear in that same spot in the footer.
Also, look into using a requirements.txt file, it'll save a lot of time if you keep misplacing the virtualenv.
And finally, it's best not to name your venv "virtualenv", name it something unique – otherwise it's guaranteed to confuse!
Image case for the problem
I was following the Visual Studio Code tutorial for python here
https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/python-tutorial
I downloaded Python, installed the python extension in Visual Studio Code and set the python interpreter to python3.8 . I also checked the workspace settings to see if it had given the correct path. Then, I wrote a simple hello world program but this is the error it is giving me.
This is the python path it has in the settings.
C:\Users\Dell\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\python.exe
Program:
print("Hello World")
Error:
C:/Users/Dell/AppData/Local/Microsoft/WindowsApps/python.exe c:/Users/Dell/hello/hello.py
-bash: C:/Users/Dell/AppData/Local/Microsoft/WindowsApps/python.exe: No such file or directory
I tried uninstalling and installing all the extensions again but it didn't work. I also uninstalled and installed all python related things on my computer. That didn't work either. What should I do?
reinstall python and this time, add python to the PATH (there is an option on the installation screen. Check it as it isn't checked by default). Then try running vs
Your environment path is not configured properly reinstalling python will fix this make sure you install python from actual application and not from vscode.other solution is that you can set the enviornment path manually just go to the environment variables> under user variable set the path to your python.exe the above mentioned location seems unlikely it should contain main python folder such as Python37/....
I will suggest you follow the link mentioned in this blog post to have python installed and working with Visual Studio Code. https://techdirectarchive.com/2023/01/17/getting-started-with-python-automation-in-windows-with-visual-studio-code/
Microsoft recommends installing python from the Microsoft Store. since installing from the Microsoft Store uses the basic Python3 interpreter, and handles the set-up of your PATH settings for the current user (avoiding the need for admin access), in addition to providing automatic updates.
I tried but completely failed to find any useful info on this particular subject on the internet.
I am a beginner in Django. I installed "virtualenv" with pip, and created an environment under "D:\Dropbox\Git\Python\Django_projects" called "env_mysite."
In the Command Prompt, everything works as expected. But now, since I tried to code with Visual Studio Code, I would like to use "Ctrl+Shift+P" to quickly select python interpreter, which in my case would be either the "normal python" or the one in the virtual environment in the D: path aforementioned... it depends on the project.
After googling, I understand it seems that this may be because of the wrong path settings in the User Settings in VS Code.
My current path settings are as below:
python.venvPath and
python.pythonPath.
I hope some of you guys can help me with how to set the correct path under Windows.
Appreciated.
If your project is under D:\Dropbox\Git\Python\Django_projects and env_mysite is the only virtual environment, then open the Django_projects folder in VS Code and the Python extension will simply discover your virtual environment.
If your code lives elsewhere then you will want to set "python.pythonPath": "D:\\Dropbox\\Git\\Python\\Django_projects\\Scripts\\python.exe".
