I am running Visual Studio Code on two machines, both set up essentially the same way. One is an iMac, the other a MacBook Air. In one of my projects, on the iMac, it doesn't recognize that pandas is installed, even though it is in the environment.
Here is the VSC python interpreter selection:
And here you can see that:
it is not able to import pandas
I'm in the env
pip3 freeze shows pandas
pip3 install indicates that pandas is already present
I've tried uninstalling pandas and reinstalling it, but that doesn't help. I've tried making sure it's in the non-env python install (it is), but that doesn't help.
I have other projects on the same computer set up essentially the same way, and pandas works fine. I also have the same project on my laptop, with the same setup, and it is working there too. I'm kinda stumped. I guess I'll be working on it on the laptop for now, but I'd appreciate any insight people may have...
Edits
if I run the code directly in the terminal, using the venv, it works fine
pip3 shows pandas 1.1.1 in the terminal; still haven't figured out whether I can get VSC to show me what it's seeing.
I figured out how to call pip from inside Python, and when I call this code from inside VSC it doesn't show pandas, but if I call it (python3 test.py) from the terminal, it does. So, clearly, I have to figure out why VSC isn't actually using the right environment.
import pip
pip.main(["freeze"])
this is getting even stranger; at #jillcheng's suggestion, I looked in the actual env directory and it doesn't have the package installed. This jives with the problem and the above test (running pip freeze from inside py code):
it does NOT, however, match up with the fact that if I activate the environment from the terminal window, it shows the package, as shown in the earlier screenshot.
Thank you!

According to your description, it is command that you could refer to the following steps:
Enter the current virtual environment in VSCode.
Enter 'pip --version ' to check if the pip currently used is from the current environment: (This ensures that using pip to install pandas module will be put into the current virtual environment.)
List of pips before installing pandas module: (There is no module pandas in the list.)
After installation：(I use the command 'pip install pandas'(windows10), mac: pip3 install pandas)
If it still has wavy lines, try reloading vscode.(Ctrl+Shift+p, Developer: Reload windows ). The module pandas can be used:
Check the installation package:
If the pip list shows the pands module, but we still can't use it, we can find the current virtual environment folder and check whether there is pandas installation package:
I am getting this message on the VS Code that "Python is not installed. Please download and install python before using the extension."
There is also no *"Python Interpreter"* to select. When I click on it it shows it empty.
I do have Python and Python extension installed and I do have virtual environments set up in the Anaconda navigator but for some reason, I am not able to use them. I tried many ways like reinstalling the Python, Anaconda, and VS Code and also the Python extension for VS code but it's not solving the issue. What could be the reason?
I have attached a screenshot of the VS Code as well.
Pleae click here to see the screenshot
Thanks for your help.
I tried many methods but none worked. So then I removed this extension "Anaconda Extension Pack by Microsoft" and it solved the issue. So anyone facing the same issue might try uninstalling this extension.
I once faced similar problem and i found out that by default vs code looks for /usr/bin/python however in some cases on linux and mac the path is /usr/bin/python3 or 2 , so you can fix it by declaring python3 as default version .
open terminal and type the following command
sudo apt install python-is-python3
check the installation using -
python --version
it should give the output as 3.x.x
This is interpreter error. you have to click on interpreter error showing bottom right in vs code then you choose installed latest python version.
I reinstalled VS Code as is - not changing existing libraries etc - and now VS Code recognises Python/ paths again. :)
After updating to Windows 11 I think it just needed a refresh.
What did it for me was adding python to the environment variables (Windows).
Find python at "C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\python.exe"
Copy this path
In the file explorer right click "This PC" and select properties
Click Advanced System Settings in the settings window that will open (blue link on the right)
Select Environment Variable -> New -> Add the copied python path
I have a VM running only Anaconda. There are no other available installations of Python. This is all I see when I run "Apps and Features" in Windows 10 and filter for Python (note that it is Python 3.7.4):
When I go to the Conda prompt and enter conda list, I see that I have openCV installed :
but it's with a version of Python 3.7.6:
However when I open VS Code and I set my Python Path to the version in the Anaconda folder: (C:\Users\Me\Anaconda3\Python.exe) and try to import OpenCV, I get the "module not found" error. When I create a new python file and run
help("modules")
I do not see OpenCV in the list below in the terminal even though its installed.
Any idea how this is happening? I just don't see a second installation of Python on my PC, but why am I seeing 3.7.4 and 3.7.6 and is this possibly causing my issue?
Edit: Added a picture of the error I get when trying to run it.
Install anaconda plugin in VSCode and select your conda environment in the bottom left of VSCode window.
If you didn't create a conda environment, the you will probably have installed the package in the base environment.
Edit: Reading the PyPi project, I found the right way to import opencv in python code.
import cv2
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.

"module not found error" in VS Code using Conda - l3d00m's answer
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.
New to python and I cannot import modules that I have installed via pip.
For instance, I have installed numpy though cannot import it.
I have a feeling from trying to work this out that it is installing to the wrong directory, or I am calling the wrong version.
$ which python
returns
/usr/bin/python
I am just not sure how to change it so I can access the modules.
First if all, you are installing the packages using pip, which means you install it on python 2 by the default configurations.
The issue you are describing can be caused by several problems:
If you are working with an IDE like pycharm- your project interpeter might by python 3.x. You should change it to python 2 since you used pip and not pip3.
Some newer versions of pycharm are opening virtual environment by default in new projects. This means that if you install packages outside the virtual environment you will not be able to access them. When opening a project, intended of applying the default settings, change the interpreter to your system interpreter, probably your python2.7 in your case.
You are not using an IDE but accecing python from your terminal like so: python3 instead of python.
Hope it helps ;)
From a terminal try:
pip install numpy --user
This install numpy to your home directory. Sometimes this helps compared with installing it without the '--user' flag.
Then:
python
Now you have a python command line. Try:
import numpy
If you don't see any error message, then the install worked. Control-d or typing 'exit()' returns you to your shell.
