I am currently working on setting up pytorch to be used on Visual Studio Code on my Windows 10 machine. Currently I can use it when I am running it on Anaconda prompt. When running on VS Code, I changed the python interpreter to match the one I am using on Anaconda, but when I try to run it is still using the original, and does not recognize "import torch". I am fairly new to using VS Code and running python on Windows, as I usually code in Linux, any help would be much appreciated!
I have attached a photo showing the current environment as well as the result when typing in "python --version" in the command line on VS Code. Screenshot
The reason is that the VSCode terminal is not refreshed and it is still in the previous state.
Solution:
We can use the shortcut key Ctrl+Shift+` (or you can also click "Terminal", "New Terminal") to open a new VSCode terminal, and it will automatically enter the currently selected Python interpreter environment.
In addition, if you need to import and use the module "torch", please install it in the currently selected environment.
Update:
Please check whether Python is available:
Please enter "where python" in the cmd window:
Please check whether there is a python path in the python environment variable:
Generally, for the python global environment, when we enter "python --version" in the terminal, the system will find the first python in the environment variables by default, so it is recommended that you put the commonly used python at the top of the environment variables and restart VSCode.
For conda environment and virtual environment, VSCode terminal will automatically enter the currently selected environment.
Reference: Environment in VScode.
You can click in Python 3.8.. Conda and then vscode shows a list of python interpreters, select your interprete and vscode creates a settings.json in the .vscode folder with the path of your python interpreter in the current folder open in vscode and everytime you open that folder vscode automatically detects your python interpreter.
I have django project folder with venv environment.
when opening vscode it has terminal opened in vscode.
Is there a way that I don't have to venv/bin/activate all the time when opening the project folder?
Edit (credit to #XJOJIX) from the comment in this answer. This will active the virtual environment without having to close or open terminals. A Python file still needs to be selected to load the Python extension.
Add this parameter in VS Code to "launch.json" or ".code-workspace"
"settings": {
"python.terminal.activateEnvInCurrentTerminal": true
}
Previous Answer:
To have a VS Code terminal automatically activate a virtual environment when first launching VS Code:
Close the terminal before exiting VS Code.
Open VS Code. Ensure a Python file is selected to direct VS Code to load the Python extension.
Wait for the Python extension to finishing loading (very bottom
left of VS Code terminal).
Open a new terminal after Python extension has loaded. The venv will automatically activate.
The trick is to open the terminal only after the Python extension has loaded.
If the directory of the terminal contains a virtual environment, VS Code will also automatically activate a virtual environment if a new terminal is opened. As before, a Python file must be selected and the Python extension must be fully loaded.
If you are on a mac OS, the simplest thing is to make ENV for your python projects.
Follow these simple Command in your Vs Code Terminal and you get your ENV activated :
Python3 -m venv env
source env/bin/activate
(The env in the first line is your env name so you can type any name)
Use the command palette to trigger the "Python: select interpreter" command. It should allow you to pick your virtual environment.
The article Using Python environments in VS Code migth be of interest to you.
If you use window machine, it might locate at
env/Scripts/activate
You can run above in your vscode terminal to activate your venv
Platform and software versions:
Mac OS Mojave, VS Code 1.38.0, Python extension installed. Created
virtual environment in project directory using command
python3 -m env.
Modified setting in Python extension,
"python.venvPath": "bin", to handle the bin directory where the python for the virtual
environment is stored.
Situation:
When I launch VS Code using code ., and then open a python file in the folder, the interpreter selected is ./bin/python, however the integrated terminal is not set to the right python executable. If I launch a new terminal it sources the virtual environment (which may be due to the Python extension setting "python.terminal.activateEnvironment": true)
Question:
Is there a way to have the integrated terminal also have the virtual environment sourced?
Or is there a better way to have VS Code activate virtual environment created by python3 -m env .?
Thank you.
Edit:
Just reread the VS Code documentation here - https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/environments and this time noticed this below. Wondering if there is a way to kill the existing terminal and then launch one upon VS Code launch...
However, launching VS Code from a shell in which a certain Python environment is activated does not automatically activate that environment in the default integrated terminal. Use the Terminal: Create New Integrated Terminal command after VS Code is running.
Two things. One, "python.venvPath" is meant to point at a directory that contains other virtual environments, not the bin/ directory that has a Python interpreter from a virtual environment. (I also don't know what python3 -m env is supposed to do; did you mean python3 -m venv?)
Two, there isn't a way to make VS Code automatically launch and complete the loading of the Python extension before VS Code creates a terminal if you have the terminal frame open at start-up.
At the time of this writting vscode now has
"python.terminal.activateEnvInCurrentTerminal": true,
so I my global settings.json, F1 > preference: Open Settings (JSON)
"python.venvPath": "D:/miniconda3/envs",
"python.terminal.activateEnvInCurrentTerminal": true,
and in my workspace's settings.json, F1 > preference: Open Workspace Settings (JSON)
"python.defaultInterpreterPath": "D:/miniconda3/envs/my-workspace-venv/python.exe"
And it works for me.
I'm trying to debug some python code using VS code. I'm getting the following error about a module that I am sure is installed.
Exception has occurred: ModuleNotFoundError
No module named 'SimpleITK'
File "C:\Users\Mido\Desktop\ProstateX-project\src\01-preprocessing\03_resample_nifti.py", line 8, in <module>
import SimpleITK as sitk
I installed the module using
sudo pip install SimpleITK
I know that it was installed because I was getting a similar error when I ran the code through the command line, and it was fixed by doing the above. I don't understand why VS code does not recognize that
After installing a new module via pip reloading vscode may work if vscode doesn't recognize it. To do this, make sure that the module is installed inside the virtual environment by creating and activating a virtualenv:
python3 -m venv env
source env/bin/activate
Make sure to use the correct way of installing a module with pip:
python3 -m pip install {new_module}
Replace the string "{new_module}" with your module name. After that, make sure to reload vscode by clicking Ctrl+Shift+P, and selecting Reload window.
Now vscode will know the new module and autocompletion works.
sudo pip install is most likely installing globally into a Python interpreter that is different than the one that you have selected in VS Code. Please select the Python interpreter you want to use and then install explicitly using that interpreter (if you're not using a virtual environment then use something like /path/to/python -m pip install SimpleITK, although I strongly recommend using a virtual environment and to not install packages globally).
In Mac, correctly selecting the Python Interpreter worked for me:
From within VS Code, select a Python 3 interpreter by opening the Command Palette (⇧⌘P), start typing the Python: Select Interpreter command to search, then select the command. You can also use the Select Python Environment option on the Status Bar if available (it may already show a selected interpreter, too):
No interpreter selected
The command presents a list of available interpreters that VS Code can find automatically, including virtual environments. If you don't see the desired interpreter, see Configuring Python environments.
Source :VS Code Select Interpreter
This error: your vscode use other python version. This solution change vscode use current python.
In terminal find current python version:
py --version
In vscode Press Ctrl+Shift+P then type:
Python: Select Interpreter
Select current python version
I ran into this problem with VSCode and resolved it by setting my Python interpreter within VSCode to the same as the one in my system path (type "echo %PATH%" on Windows and look for Python) via the process here: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/python-tutorial#_select-a-python-interpreter
There are a lot of proposed answers that suggest changing the launch.json or the settings.json file. However, neither of these solutions worked for me.
My situation:
Is Python environment selected? yes
Does the Terminal recognize Python environment? yes
Can I run the Python code from the activated Terminal? yes
Does the code run w/o error when I use "Start Debugging"? yes
Does the code run when I click "Run Code"? no
The only solution that worked for me is to:
Open Windows Terminal (or cmd)
Activate environment: conda activate <environment_name>
Open Visual Studio Code from Terminal: code
Then, "Run Code" (#5) works without any issues.

Faced similar issue and here is how I fixed it. Remember that there are multiple ways to run your code in VS code. And for each way you may end up with different interpreters and environments. For example:
1. Creating virtual env and installing libraries
In my case I opted into creating virtual environment and doing so outside of VS Code using command prompt:
python -m venv .plotting_test
Following that I activated it:
.plotting_test\Scripts\activate.bat
Following that I installed additional libraries:
python -m pip install matplotlib
Following that I made sure to see it was all installed ok:
python -m pip list
And I also checked where for current directory:
cd
2. Point VS Code & VS Code Code Runner to virtual environment
Opened vs code, closed previous workspaces, opened new folder, created test.py as I was starting new. Pressed ctrl + shift + p. Selected ```Python: Select Interpreter``:
Followed by + Enter interpreted path
Navigated to directory from last step from section 1. Found my virtual environment folder created in step one and pointed VS code to that version's python.exe in Scripts:
Verified I am pointed to such:
Saved as workspace so that I can create default workspace settings for this project:
In workspace settings files defined paths to my virtual environment created n step 1 for workspace interpreter & CODE RUNNER(!):
"settings": {
"python.defaultInterpreterPath": "C:/Users/yyguy/.plotting_test/Scripts/python.exe",
"code-runner.executorMap": {"python": "call C:/Users/yyguy/.plotting_test/Scripts/activate.bat && python -u"}
}
}
Reloaded window just to make sure (ctrl + shift + p) = "Developer: Reload Window"
Now run code and run python file should be execute under your specified envs:
Try running pip list in VS Code to check if the module is installed, next check if your python version is correct/supports that version of SimpleITK. It may be a problem with the python interpreter that you are using for VS Code (ie. the module may be installed on a different python instance than the one your VS Code is using)
Is Python environment selected?
Does the Terminal recognize the Python environment?
Can I run the Python code from the activated Terminal?
Does the code run w/o error when I use "Start Debugging"?
if the answer to the above is "yes."
Then,
Try running the Code using the option "Run python file in terminal" (in code runner extension). And assign a new shortcut for that for future use...
How to fix module not found error in Visual Studio code?
To Solve VSCode ModuleNotFoundError: No module named X Error Make sure you are running from the package folder (not from package/module ) if you want import module. calculations to work. You can also set the PYTHONPATH environment variable to the path to the package folder.
Once you have created a virtual environment, and installed your required packages in that environment, close VS code. For Windows platform, open command prompt and navigate to the folder where your virtual env folder is created. And then launch VS code from there using the command code .
For ex: My virtual env name is .imgenv, and its inside C:\py_stuff\projects
So, I navigate to C:\py_stuff\projects and then type code .
Now, your VS code should recognize the packages !
I just ran into the same issue. I found that if I selected all text before shift enter the script would compile as a file instead of as a single line.
I had the same problem. I bet you have a shebang statement at the top of your file.
If you do.
Visual Studios settings
Under "Code-runner->Code-runner: Respect Shebang" section or just do a search for "Code-runner: Respect Shebang"
Uncheck weather to respect Shebang to run code.
Now it will run under the virtual environment and find the modules that you installed using pip! :)
I struggled with this for a very long time, and had tried almost every other answer. I wasn't using pip, so that wasn't the issue. But still VS Code wasn't finding the modules that were installed in the Selected Interpreter.
Ultimately it came down to old conflicts that existed because I switched to miniconda, and VS Code was still looking for anaconda3.
I completely wiped VS Code and its associated files (cache, preference files, etc.) from my machine (some instructions), and installed a clean version.
This now syncs as expected with miniconda.
If you have different python versions installed, be sure you install module with right one.
python -m pip install <module>
or
python3 -m pip install <module>
Run your environment from a directory not in the users directory. I solved my problem running my environment from C:\Code\ProjectA\
I discovered my problem by running:
IMPORT os
Mycwd = os.getcwd()
PRINT(Mycwd)
.venv/Lib/SitePackages is the default directory where Vscode looks for Modules.
This directory is automatically created on creating .venv via the command Pallete.
External modules installed via pip are placed in this directory by default.
Place self created modules inside this folder manually.
For mac users
In the terminal check which python you are using by command which python. It will give you the path of the python interpreter path. After that type cmd shift P and type Python: Select interpreter.
After that select + Enter interpreter path and paste the path which you got after running the command which python.
I am trying to run some Python code in Visual Studio Code. When I first save the file, say to fibonacci.py, I get a popup window that says,
Linter pylint is not installed.
It also displays three buttons: Install, Disable pylint, and Disable linting. If I click Install, I get the following error message:
$ /Users/me/.pyenv/versions/3.6.5/bin/python -m pip -U pylint
Could not find an activated virtualenv (required).
I can't see to get rid of this error message.
Here were the steps I took to set up my project:
Installed the Python 3.6.5 interpreter: pyenv install 3.6.5.
Created a directory for the project.
Changed to that directory and ran pyenv local 3.6.5 to set the interpreter for that folder. This created a .python-version file containing the string "3.6.5" as expected.
Also created a virtualenv by running pyenv virtualenv 3.6.5 py365 and pyenv activate py365.
Opened the directory in VS Code: code .
From the Command Palette, I selected Python: Select interpreter and selected the interpreter for the folder that I set above in step 3.
From the Command Palette, I then ran Python: Create Terminal to open a terminal window.
It's at this point that if I create a new file and save it as fibonacci.py that I get the Linter message and the subsequent error message when I try to install the linter.
What's confusing to me is that the Code documentation Activate an environment in the Terminal talks about selecting an interpreter but then it seems to refer to the interpreter as an environment too. I thought that those are two different things, the interpreter being the Python interpreter and the environment the virtual environment where the packages you want to use for your project are installed. The doc goes on to say you should use "Python: Create Terminal" to automatically activate the environment, but I did that in step 7 above.
Furthermore, the next paragraph "Where the extension looks for environments" says one of the locations is "Interpreters installed by pyenv". But as I said above, I used pyenv to specify the 3.6.5 interpreter which created the .python-version file in the project folder. Isn't this what the document is talking about?
What am I not understanding?
The problem was that I had this setting in my .bashrc file:
PIP_REQUIRE_VIRTUALENV=true
It should be set to false per this other stackoverflow question.
