Recently I reinstall my VS Code due to some errors. But I am not able to compile python files. I have installed all necessary extensions like python and code runner. But still I am getting this:
Same problem occurred to me! All I did was just disabled and then re enabled the python extension again.
OR
Please uninstall the extension, restart VS Code, and then install it again. This error is symptomatic of an extension install going badly.
I tried everything to fix this problem
1.Unistall VS Code.
2.Go to "C:/Users/{Whatever User}" and delete the .vscode Folder.
3.Go to "C:/Users/{Whatever User}/AppData/Roaming" and delete the "Code" Folder. This file stores all the VS Code Cache.
4.Restart you laptop and install VS Code again.
5.Install the python extension.
Yes they solve my other errors related to VS Code but this particular error was in my folder from which I was running my python program because when I execute some other python program saved in some other directory it worked successfully.
So I would suggest that you may try running your .py file by placing it in some new folder.
I've just had exactly the same issue. My intellisense wouldn't work too. Tried everything.. at the end I've downgraded Jupyter version. Went back to version from 6 days ago and everything is working. Python, Pylance, Intellisense extensions are the newest.
one of the solutions is you should downgrade python extension to lower extension.
please click extensions icon then choose manage button below python extension.and click install another version.
then choose older version.then select interpreter(ctrl+shift+p).
at the end restart vscode and run python file.

Just Update or Uninstall and Reinstall Pylance and Python extension from Extensions...and Restart VSCode....
You may need to roll back the VS Code Python extension temporarily.

I was too lazy to follow the recommendations for reinstalling the program on the computer, so I went into the VSC extensions, uninstalled Python, restarted VSC, installed Python, restarted VSC and everything works now. If you are as lazy as I am, then you can try this method before taking drastic measures.
Even I had the same problem but I fixed it. To fix this you have to delete VS Code completely and then reinstall it. Follow the steps:
Unistall VS Code.
Go to "C:/Users/{Whatever User}" and delete the .vscode Folder.
Go to "C:/Users/{Whatever User}/AppData/Roaming" and delete the "Code" Folder. This file stores all the VS Code Cache.
Restart you laptop and install VS Code again.
Install the python extension.
This worked for me. Hope it helps you too.
Note: If you don't find the AppData folder in you users folder, you have to enable hidden items by going to the view section in the windows explorer taskbar.
Just uninstall python extension and then restart VS Code and then install python extension again and then you will not get this error anymore.
Just update or reinstall Pylance and Python extensions and restart VS Code.
Go to the python extension, hit the arrow next to uninstall and downgrade
I Tried uninstall Reinstall VS Code Windows 10 64 bit Not Worked.
Just Uninstall all extensions in VS code.
1.open any .py file
2.Then VS CODE will show automatically to install python extension.
3.Install It Now you can see the interpreter without any issue.
NOTE:(Tried uninstalling reinstalling Extensions one by one not solved the issue)
Same here. No I've tried to relaunch VS Code, but still no python, no terminal at all (neither "Code", "Problems", or other tabs), not even was able to load the extensions menu to reinstall python. But Relaunching the PC solved the issue :)
Just uninstall VS Code, go to C:\Users\whatever user\ and delete .vscode.
Restart pc and install latest version of VS Code.

Unable to run/debug run in my python file. I KNOW I downloaded python on my computer. I know I downloaded the extension in VS code. Every time I try to run even a simple print("abc") line of code I get nothing in the terminal and a message that reads
"Extension activation failed, run the 'Developer: Toggle Developer Tools' command for more information."
in addition to
"Python extension loading..."
and the extension never seems to finish loading its been hours.
How do I fix this I am working out of Windows
For example I have "Extension" named Python in the image below that gets updated or installed by vsCode automatically
You have to wait for the "Extensions" to be installed.
Make sure you have an internet connection.
make sure you have a fast internet connection so that it can be installed faster.
After installation restart "vsCode"
If it doesn't work for you, try uninstalling the extension and reinstalling it
This is all I know and it happened to me
Don't know the reason, for me I installed a pervious version for python EXTENSIONS, and issue fixed screenshot
Navigate to the extensions and you'll find the extensions whose reload is required. Press reload and wait for the extension to refresh. Check the error message at the bottom to see if it still persists.
For me this problem occurred when updating VS code to version 1.75.0 and python extension version was 2022.20.2, problem fixed when updating python extension to version 2023.2.0
I have been using VSCode with the Microsoft Python extension for a couple of months now. However just today I found that the green button I had in the top right that executed my code is gone. I have tried uninstalling the python extension and reinstalling, I have deleted and redownloaded VSCode, I have tried installing code runner. None of these have fixed the issue.
This is the image of my VSCode, which may help to solve the issue:
When I tried to select the Python: select interpreter I got an error in the bottom right that says,
"Command 'Python: Select Interpreter' resulted in an error (command 'python.setInterpreter' not found)"
I have never experienced an issue like this before so any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Image of the plugin I have installed.
Try the following. If that does not help create a new bug.
Do the following to remove stale versions of the extension:
1.Uninstall Python extension (if you have pylance uninstall it first) in visual studio code.
2.Close all instances of VS Code or close visual studio code.
3.Go to, %USERPROFILE%/.vscode/extensions (on windows) or ~/.vscode/extensions on Windows/Linux/Mac.
4.Go to Run and give %USERPROFILE%/.vscode/extensions (on windows). It will open extensions folder.
5.Delete any folder with the name starting with ms-python.python*
6.Start VS Code, and install Python extension again(also pylance if you uninstalled it in step 1).
So I had faced the problem and couldn't find solution until I stared at VS code and found at the bottom left corner that it was in restricted mode, you have to run it in trust mode and it will fix the problem.
If the option is not coming, there is an option to run the program on the left panel in vs code which looks something like this:
Then you need to click debug and run or whatever the option is, if that is blurred out then you've not saved the file, first save it and then again do the same options, and then it will run.
I figured it out!!! The most recent update for the Microsoft Python plugin on VSCode seems to be bugged or something, I'm not sure. However I installed an older version and everything works now, including bringing back the green run button. Thank you all so much for the help!
Yep it's an issue with the most recent releases of vscode. The quick fix right now is just to roll back to an older version. You can easily do this by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+X in vscode to get to the extensions menu, and then clicking the Python extension, and then clicking the little arrow to the right of "uninstall". Here, you can just click "Install Another Version".
For me v2020.10.332292344 did the trick.

Many others are facing the issue right now too.

I am using WSL2, and i encountered this error today. My VScode used to work fine until my version was automatically upgraded to 1.60. When i checked my extensions, it said that my Python extension is not installed in WSL2, so i clicked on install and the problem was solved.
It may also come from the restricted mode. Please make sure you're in a trusted window.
"Command 'Python: Select Interpreter' resulted in an error (command 'python.setInterpreter' not found)"
The error happened on the newer version 3.10.6 I installed on my new system.
I uninstalled the new python version. Then went to Microsoft store and installed the older version 3.9 directly from the store. When I tried adding the interpreter again on vscode, it was successful.
reloading or upgrading python extension worked for me.
Kindly install the Python interpreter from the following site:
https://www.python.org/downloads/
Then vs code will ask for permission to run the interpreter.
and then its done
I have windows 8.1 and tried installing: python-3.5.0rc3-amd64
I tried running as admin to no avail.
Here is the log of the failed install: http://pastebin.com/Y465P6zi.
Manually install the Universal C Runtime update from Microsoft:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2999226
and then re-attempt installation of Python 3.5.
I too had the same issue. Try installing Python 3.4.3. It worked for me.
You may try some older version. I had similar issues and I tried a lot to update but not succeed. Then I tried for python-3.4.3. It's works fine for me. There are not much different between 3.4.3 and 3.5.0.
Please update the window version from windows update(if you have blocked auto windows update).
This problem have nothing to do with product key.
Installing older version might help but, won't solve the purpose of installing the 3.5.X version
I had this problem because I was trying to install Python on a computer that had its Windows Updates downloaded, yet not yet installed and configured.
Solution: reboot your computer so that all Windows updates are installed and configured, then try again.
Download python-2.7.14 following link:
https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-2714/
Install "python-2.7.14" and set PATH variable manual in windows.
Create a New folder in the root of windows drive -> windows ( for example C:\windows\ ) and name it "installer", it's done. install again. it worked for me.
When running python26 under windows OS (64bits).....
I have got errors like:
import win32api" error in Python 2.6: pywintypes26.dll
or
pythoncom26.dll missing
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.
I have done the msi installation for python26
all dlls can be found under C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages\pywin32_system32
After I copy pywintypes26.dll and pythoncom26.dll from C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages\pywin32_system32 to C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages\win32 -> Solve the problem!
I also hit a problem importing win32api.
The post-install script for pywin32 failed, which should copy pythoncom26.dll, pythoncomloader26.dll, and pywintypes26.dll, among other things. I ran it by hand and my installation was fixed.
python scripts\pywin32_postinstall.py -install
I had a similar problem when installing under 64 bit Python 3.4.2. I ran the install executable pywin32‑219.win‑amd64‑py3.4.exe from http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/ .
On the site it states clearly:
"Python 3.4 users must manually run python.exe Scripts\pywin32_postinstall.py -install from an elevated command prompt."
which I did not do first time round; I installed from a normal prompt getting the following feedback:
c:\python34>python.exe Scripts\pywin32_postinstall.py -install
Copied pythoncom34.dll to C:\Python34\pythoncom34.dll
Copied pywintypes34.dll to C:\Python34\pywintypes34.dll
You do not have the permissions to install COM objects.
The sample COM objects were not registered.
etc.etc.
Finishing with "The pywin32 extensions were succesfully installed" ...
I only read the last sentence and I started to run some code resulting in getting these dll load fails.
So, did some research, and started an elevated prompt (how: see "http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/783-elevated-command-prompt.html") and again ran:
c:\python34>python.exe Scripts\pywin32_postinstall.py -install
Copied pythoncom34.dll to C:\Windows\system32\pythoncom34.dll
Copied pywintypes34.dll to C:\Windows\system32\pywintypes34.dll

The pywin32 extensions were successfully installed.
And now my code runs happily (as far as this matter is concerned... sigh, so much other stuff to do).
Run the installer as Administrator and it works:
Right click on pywin32-installer.exe
Choose "Run as Administrator"
As suggested above the post install script is not run, this issue can be seen when installing from a wheel (As I encountered)
python scripts\pywin32_postinstall.py -install
If find you have this issue when installing via wheels, then installing it from here can solve the above issue.
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pypiwin32
There appears to be a bug in the installer. The recommended workaround in the ticket is the same one as proposed by Dave Bremer.
I could fix this situation by removing all installed Python3.4 versions (had forgotten to uninstall 3.4.1 before installing 3.4.2), deleting C:\Python34 and after installing Python 3.4.2 pywin32-219.win32-py34.exe could be installed and called without problems.
So, copying around DLLs should NOT be necessary!
I always install the Active State Python distro which installs the win32 packages for you and gets it right.
If the above didn't fix the problem, you're still missing the msvcr100.dll file. It's either in your \System32\ folder, or more likely in your c:\PythonXX\Lib\site-packages\win32\ folder.
That fixed it for me after hours of search to no avail, even though it looks like the import still isn't resolved as it should be (PyCharm still gives me the squiggly underline), but it works.
First I was using pip to install pywin32 in anaconda environment, that's why no matter what I did it was failing. After trial and error, I figured out that
conda install pywin32
is the right way to install pywin32 in the anaconda package manager.
I don't know whether it's too late or not to answer this question. I also hit this problem, and I tried every method above, but neither of them worked.
Finally, I found the reason. When we install pywin32, we must choose the one that fits python's version(2.6， 2.7， 3.3， etc) and python's bit number(x64 or x86). Notice, it must fit python's bit number, not PC's bit number. If you install x86 python in a x64 PC, you have to install a pywin32 with x86.
In my case i had to copy pywintypes26.dll and pythoncom26.dll files into C:\Windows\System32 folder to work it properly in jupyter notebook.
I am using windows 10 OS with multiple python versions
