Adding path of downloaded Python to Visual Studio Code

Just gone through the process of setting up python and all the installs using cmd and now i want to use
brownie bake
To clone some code and it gives errors as it cant locate brownie... I've set environmental variables for the path (that's how I got it to work in cmd)... I've installed the python extension and chose the python.exe file in my new install in the compiler by clicking the bottom left... How can I make visual studios Code use only the python and all library's I installed?
if i run
python
in the terminal it opens up windows store for python install but i can run my version by using
py

First, Disable the python command to open the windows store:
Search Manage app execution aliases and unselect App Installer of Python:
Second, You need to check which python you have installed your packages to:
And make sure in the VSCode you have selected the right interpreter(In the following picture, they are different).

Showing python project without share the source code

I have created a AI project by python. Now I want to share in online that every one can see this and use this but no one can see the source code. How can I do this!? Note: I use almost all the way to make it an exe file but it failed. Is there any way to share this project others and no one can't see the source code??

I would recommend creating an exe file with Auto PY to EXE, a GUI to convert python scripts to executables
It is incredibly easy. First you just install it with pip: pip install auto-py-to-exe.
Then, just enter auto-py-to-exe in your terminal to start the GUI.
From there, you select your python file, whether you want a directory or one file, whether your application is console or window-based, and press convert

Packing python scripts into .exe file while keeping imported modules

I have a python script I want to pack into .exe file for the ease of use. The python script makes extensive use of Tkinter module for nice GUI. I've packed it first into .exe using pyinstaller and the guide outlied here - https://datatofish.com/executable-pyinstaller/
I have two problems. First is that my script makes use of FlowCal module, which doesn't come with Python's pyinstaller (I've made script using Spyder, and I'm using Python 3.8. to compile using pyinstaller) - so I installed FlowCal with pip install FlowCal so Python gets it too (I think that's how it works? Not too sure). But then FlowCal is dependent on various sklearn modules, and it would be a headache to install modules, compile to exe, then check if it works over and over. Is there a way that ALL modules script uses (and ALL modules that imported modules use) are compiled into the script?
Second problem is that alongside GUI I get another window. Picture included. How do I remove that window?

Another thing you can do without any hassle is using auto-py-to-exe. This will generate .exe from .py with writing command, just clicking some buttons in a GUI. For this, you have to give the command: pip install auto-py-to-exe in command prompt or PowerShell, whatever you like most. After successfully installing auto-py-to-exe, give the command auto-py-to-exe in your command prompt. Then give the necessary informations, and get your generated executable file!

Add the missing modules to the hiddenimports
hiddenimports=['sklearn.neighbors.typedefs','sklearn.neighbors.quad_tree','sklearn.tree._utils']
Or use it when you create the exe in cmd as
--hidden-import=modulename

Python 3 install error. This file does not have a program associated

I have encountered an error while try to run a python 3.6.4 script after upgrading from 2.7.
I had initial installed both python 2.7 and 3.6 but them deleted 2.7 because I had no use for it and i am not getting this error.
I have tried:
Reinstalling python 3.6.4
changing the install location of said install
Repairing the python 3.6 install
Error:

A Python script by itself is not an executable program. So if you want to run the script Evosim.py by just entering Evosim.py in the command line, the .py file ending needs to be associated with the Python interpreter. It seems that currently in your system this is not the case.
There are two ways to deal with your situation:
Start your script by entering python Evosim.py instead of only Evosim.py in the command line.
Fix the broken association of the .py file ending with the Python interpreter. The answers to this question migth help you with that.

Solution #1
Go to your registry by searching regedit.
Open category HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT. Select .py. If .py don't exists then make it by yourself.
Double click the Default. It will make a popup. Change its value to Python.IDLE and click OK. Make a new String key in .py naming Content Type with value text/plain.
Solution #2
If the above method don't works then just go ahead and reinstall your python (also uninstall Python Launcher). Your modules and files will be at their place.
You can now open .py files.

Running command prompt as an administrator resolved my issue, and able to execute my python script

1). Right click any python file
2). Click Open with then Choose another app
3). Click on More apps then Look for another app on this PC. It should open up file explorer
4). Select python.exe wherever it is located.
A sample path is C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38\python.exe for a user installation. A way to check this path is by typing where python into cmd; it will list all installations of Python.
Now the python.exe you chose is associated with all .py files and typing file.py should not give an error.

How can I run my Python program like a normal program from the desktop?

I'm creating a program that I would like to use as a normal program as well as continue to code it on the side. To do this I first tried creating a shortcut of the .py file in my PyCharms project folder and sent it to desktop. When I double-clicked the shortcut the command prompt would open for a second and then shut. It's a PyQt4 program so I'm not sure if this has any bearing. The program has been coded in Python 3.4. I've noticed that when I open the command prompt and type 'python' it shows Python 3.5 for some reason so I'm not sure if this has any bearing on the situation.
If you've ever programmed in C# I'd like to be able to build a solution and then rebuild the solution when I've updated the code so that I can access the program as a normal program as well as continue to improve the code of it.
Thanks for any help.

Managed it thanks to the link above. Uninstalled Python 3.5 and set my PATH variable to C:\Python34. Downloaded pyinstaller and installed it using PIP. Then navigated to Python34/Scripts and dragged myFile.py (the one to be made an .exe) into it. Ran pyinstaller.exe --windowed myFile.py to create the exe which then went to my dist folder. Created a shortcut and it worked perfectly.

Go to your environmental variables (Right click on Computer > Properties > Advanced system settings > Environment Variables...). Find Path in System variables, select it, and click edit. Remove the Python 3.5 path and replace it with your python 3.4 or virtual environment folder that has python.exe in it.
Make a shortcut on your desktop that points to the .py file that you are editing.
If you have all of the dependencies right then double clicking the .py file's shortcut should run your program.
Other wise you can pip install cx_freeze and use cx_freeze like setuptools. Create a setup.py file and build the executable.
If you want to install this executable I suggest using Inno Setup. It is pretty straight forward on how to use and has an easy wizard that helps you build a basic installer.
