As the title suggest, VSCode is using the wrong interpreter, even though the correct one is listed. As can be seen in the picture, my python script errors out as it cannot find some packages within the environment. After checking which interpreter it is using, it says python 3.8.12 (my base environment). The environment that I am running my code in should be python 3.9.7 (see bottom right of picture).
Now how do I ensure the code runs in the right environment?
I had the same problem for a multi-project workspace. I had to select the interpreter for the whole workspace (the last item "Select at workspace level" in the ctrl-shift-p dialog), then it worked flawlessly.
You can use shortcut keys Ctrl+shift+P to manually adjust the interpreter.

I have a script that I need to run using a very specific python interpreter in my hard drive.
I am using vscode as the IDE and trying to select the python interpreter using the command palette.
However, since the concerned interpreter is not present, I manually search it.
However, even after that, it doesn't work as typing python in the terminal then opens the windows store for installing a python IDE. I also tried adding the interpreter's path to the environment variables but the problem still persists.
How do I solve this issue.
Thank You for the help.
The Python version you selected on VS Code only effects the editor. Right click to any file on the sidebar and select Open in Integrated Terminal. If your selected Python version is created with virtualenv it will activated and your python command works.
If not worked and you want a global Python version, you need to add Python path to your system variables to work python command. Check this:
https://geek-university.com/python/add-python-to-the-windows-path/
Btw I don't think your python.exe in FreeCad/bin directory is proper Python version
At the bottom left you can select the Python interpreter.
Here it shows you on -how to do that: Python Interpreter
Reason:
Your system environment path contains this: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps.
Solution:
Open Window Search(Win) to find Manage app execution aliases. To turn off App Installer of python3 like this:

I had Python version 2.7.17 already installed on my machine. Recently I started coding in Python and I installed VS Code to make things easier. However once I opened VSCode and ran a simple Python Hello World program, VSCode terminal gave a warning saying that
Python 2 support has ended at January 1, 2020
which means the support has already ended and suggested to install the latest Python version. So I heeded the warning and installed Python 3.8.5 on my Windows machine. The installation was completed without any issue. Afterward, when I tried the command python --version on VSCode terminal, it correctly gave the output python 2.7.17. However, when I tried the command python3 --version to check if it was correctly installed, the terminal gave no output.
Since I am a beginner and the support for Python 2 has already ended, I would like to work with Python3 from now on. However, I don't mind Python 2 staying in the machine.
Is this something should I worry about? Or should I uninstall Python 2 completely (When I checked Control Panel both versions are list under currently installed programs)?
According to your description, you can change pythonpath in vscode and still keep python2.
I assume you are using windows system and if not, please let me know. The following is the solution:
open cmd and type: where python. There should be two path, copy it which is about python3.8.5;
press Ctrl+, to open setting.json and add an entry for python.pythonPath manually inside your User Settings:
Now you can press Ctrl+Shift+P and find the option select interpreter. Click it you'll find a interpreter list. After selecting new interpreter, it is necessary to press Ctrl+Shift+` to open a new terminal for further development.
About more detailed information about pythonpath and interpreter you can refer to using python environments in vscode.
The version of Python used depends on your environment, and PATH variable.
I think you need to select the correct Python interpreter. At the bottom of your screen, there should be something that says the Python version number. If you click it, you can get a menu to select the interpreter.
Alternatively, you can hit control-shift-p, type "python interpreter", then click "select python interpreter" option.
Finally, you can alter the default Python interpreter used by changing the User settings in VS Code. Hit control-shift-p, type "open settings", and select Open Settings (JSON). Add a key to the JSON file called "python.pythonPath", so that you have a line that looks something like this:
"python.pythonPath": "full/path/to/the/python/executable/you/want/python.exe",
You might be able to get a hint as to the path to use or available isntallations of python if you type where python or which python (depending on terminal/ OS in use).
Then you can save those settings. Restart VS Code. Hopefully now the correct interpreter is selected by default.
When I start Pycharm, this python setup menu pops up.
Python 3.7.4 is not even the version I'm using. Everything else works fine and I can just close it, but it is annoying.
There was a same question, and the answer was
You appear to be using the installer .exe as if it were the Python interpreter. Install Python to somewhere first, then use the python.exe in the bin directory inside that.
But I can't find where my bin directory is. My Python37-32 folder looks this.
How do I find my python interpreter?
Open some project -> File -> Settings -> Project: ... -> Project Interpreter -> Show All ... to view the list of available interpreters added to PyCharm.
Find and remove the interpreter which is pointing to Python distributive from the newly opened list.
At some point in past you added Python installer as a project interpreter in PyCharm so now when IDE tries to use this exe to run some background tasks (e.g. to get sys.path) installation wizard is triggered instead.
Correct python.exe to point PyCharm to is right on your screenshot
According to official python documentation.
The Python interpreter is usually installed as
/usr/local/bin/python3.8 on those machines where it is available;
putting /usr/local/bin in your Unix shell’s search path makes it
possible to start it by typing the command:
Since you are using Windows here, you are already in the location where the python interpreter resides. So look no further.
By the looks of the screenshots, I have a concern whether you have installed python correctly.
If you did not select the checkbox for Add Python 3.7 to PATH, the wizard expects you to do it manually which is why the error.
I would uninstall and reinstall Python and this time make sure to check that box. I am sure your error messages should go away.
Alternatively, if you're not in the disposition to uninstall. According to python docs here you can set the python variable to PATH variable and try.
I have installed on my system several Python interpreters, 2.x and 3.x versions. I am trying to prepare my work environment to allow easily switch between code written in both Python version. It is really important to have as much flexible setting in Visual Studio Code (VSC).
The problem is that I have no idea how to set VSC terminal to run code in Python 2.x. Terminal output is needed because it allows to provide user input easily.
I've tried instructions provided on VSC page, like manual interpreter's path indication in folder or workspace setting. I reinstalled Python 2.x to ensure PATH variable has been updated.
When I run code with CodeRunner extension, it always run it in Python 3.x.
Does anyone have similar issue and found how to change Python environment used by this integrated terminal?
All you have to do is press ctrl+shift+p Then will get a search bar kinda thing on top of the screen.
Then type the following command:
> python: select interpreter
You will be provided with options. Select the one you want to use.
At the bottom of the MS Code screen is an info bar that lets you know what line, col, text encoding, etc... It also shows the python interpreter you are accessing.
If you click on the text for the version of python that is running, it will open a list of available interpreters on your system. If 2.7 is in your path, you can select it.
Download and install the python version that you want
https://www.python.org/downloads/
Open the visual studio code
Click on the Bottom left for the version
Select the version that you want the code to be complied
Answers above won't change interpreter in the visual-studio's terminal as explained. You can see for yourself. (I'm on linux)
which python3
# /usr/bin/python3
You can't export a new PATH because it'll ruin your other commands. And neither you can directly change the 'python3' file via root privileges. It doesn't work that way.
Your best option is to reshape your system interpreter according to your needs.
I'm new to programming and just started a course on Python. I want to use PyCharm, so I downloaded and intalled it (v. 4.5, community edition). I had previously installed Python 3.5 64-bit from python.org (I'm using Windows 10).
To start using PyCharm, I need a project interpreter, which I can select in the settings. As far as I'm concerned, the interpreter is "py.exe", but when I select it, I get this error message: "The selected file is not a valid home for Python SDK". I also tried to use every file whose name contained "python" or "py", and failed.
On every website and video I see, they select a file called "python.exe", but they're using Python 3.4 or a previous version. I checked that PyCharm supports 3.5 ("Initial support for Python 3.5").
Is there anything I'm doing wrong? What should I do to be able to use PyCharm?
All replies are appreciated. Thanks in advance.
file > new project settings > project Interpreter > click in the drop down and select 'show all' > click the '+' button >
Now, in the Virtualenv Environment tab under the New environment radio button, check the path in the 'Base interpreter:' field. For me, mine was set to an invalid path. Once I had corrected the path to point to python.exe I recreated my new project and PyCharm built the virtualenv.
For me there was a bit more too.... When creating the new project I expanded the drop down and had to verify the directory where the venv directory was being created. Once I had corrected the path here I had to click around a bit to get it to let me create the project.
I'm going to chaulk this up to a bug. I'm using Community edition.
When creating a project in PyCharm, if the interpret is not already selected, in the drop down menu under the projects "Location:", you can click the gear-looking icon to the right of the interpreter option, and click "Add Local"; then select the file location of the python.exe file that you have installed. It will probably be C:\Python35\Python.exe
I faced a Similar issue and was not able to find Python interpreter anywhere on the system.
The problem with it was that python was installed directly with default settings and there was no exe found in
C:\Python35\
and to solve this i tried uninstalling and reinstalling with custom settings and selecting allow for all users as well which did the trick and path was set correctly to
C:\Python35\python.exe.
After whichPycharm was able to detect the interpreter on this path.
PyCharm project interpreter problem Resolved
I installed anaconda python distribution (Anaconda3-5.0.1-Windows-x86_64.exe) from the anaconda website. https://anaconda.org/anaconda/python
What it actually did was it re-installed my Python3.6.3 (pertinent to mention I have windows10, with pyCharm community & python 3.5 already but with the interpreter problem and while installing anaconda I chose the following settings and disabled my antivirus before my anaconda installation):
selecting allow for all users
installation path was set correctly and (stored safely for future)
restart my Computer after installation.(not essential-but I did)
opened Anaconda & Jet brian pycharm
selected new project in PyCharm screen shot of my New project default Python interpreter location = C:\Users\Skboy\PycharmProjects\dani Interpreter = C:\Users\Skboy\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\python.exe
Wow! my pyCharm started working for me,
Resolution : Python6.3 re-installation with proper custom setting
make a python test test1.py program file to print "hello python test world"
Run
now my Python Interpreter(automatically -by default select) Python 3.6.3
edit configuration & check for interpreter
(C:\Users\user1\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\python.exe)
Run
success test Run
worth to mention Anaconda Jupyter is a web based can also be used in case novice user are still having problems
I have had the exact same problem and was unable to find the solution until just now. Hopefully this works for anyone that was struggling with it.
I went to the location of the Python 3.5 (32-Bit) in my C: Drive which it turns out is just a shortcut to the actual Python application, right click on it and select Open file location which should direct you to the application version of python - simply called 'python'. This is the .exe file that PyCharm was looking for to use as the interpreter.
Now go to the configure interpreter menu in Pycharm and type in the file location of the actual python application. To get to mine I had to go to AppData/Local/Programs/Python/Python35-32. Click on the python.exe file and it should work.
This is my first post here so if its formatted incorrectly or doesn't use the conventional terms - sorry. Let me know if the solution worked for anyone else with the problem or if I fluked it.
If you kept the default settings while installing python, Your project interpreter for PyCharm will be:
C:\Users\yourUserName\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36\python.exe
Chose the above location as your project interpreter inside PyCharm.
Depending on which python version you have, it could be either Python36\python.exe or Python35\python.exe.
For me the following solution it worked:
My configuration:
Pycharm Community edition 2019.1.1
Anaconda distribution with python 3.7. Interpreter in standard location.
Problem:
Pycharm was not able to find python interpreter after reinstallation of anaconda distribution.
Solution:
- Make sure you run pycharm as admin (right click and run as admin). This was actually the critical step.
- Create new project (or open an existing one)
- Depending on the choice choose interpter or go to file > settings > project interpreter > choose small gear on rights side > add > on base interpreter choose the 3 dots > paste the location of the interpreter in the anaconda distribution.
Hope it helped someone. For me the blocking point was that for some reason pycharm was not launching with admin rights.
