I have a code that needs to call a program from with a CMD command.
When I run the code in Python IDLE, it works, but not on Pycharm.
Here is an example code:
import os
os.system('pip')
This code runs on python IDLE, but on Pycharm it exits with:
'pip' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
I am running it on Windows Server 2012 R2 if that helps.
How can I solve this? Thanks!
#Litwos,
pip should be bundled with your python interpreter - if PyCharm can find your python interpreter, it should be able to find a workable pip. Check that your python interpreter is set properly and PyCharm can find all the bundled tools.
Note: I have to do this for every new project:
Open PyCharm Preferences -> Project -> Project Interpreter
Select an appropriate interpreter
Verify that pip shows in the package list below the Project Interpreter listbox

I am currently using VS Code on a server (through SSH). Everything works fine, and I installed Python packages and work with Python notebooks.
Now, I want to login to the server (not a problem) and run the Python code I created on VSCode, rather than executing it remotely.
My main issue is that I am not sure how to activate the Python environment (if there is one) that VSCode server's run so that the code can execute.
Is that possible?
I see I have a .vscode directory in my home directory, and there are package installation there.
After connecting vscode remotely, you can use it as a regular vscode, which is no different from running Python files locally:
install python
install pylance extension
choose correct interpreter
edit your code and run the python file.
I want to run python on vscode terminal but when i try to do so i get the following:
I use the code runner extension and i am enabling 'run code in terminal'option.
It used to work for me, but i have tried recently to run python on windows terminal by copying the entire thing vscode generates in it's terminal when building the executable(the path and everything) and pasting it to windows terminal, didn't work.
This is what i pasted: C:\Users\Yan\AppData\Local\tmc\vscode\mooc-programming-22\part05-27_letter_square> python -u "c:\Users\Yan\AppData\Local\tmc\vscode\mooc-programming-22\part05-27_letter_square\src\letter_square.py"
Please tell how to fix this and if what i did is the cause, then tell me also how to run python on windows terminal without causing this problem.
The command pasted to the windows terminal has somehow created a file named "python" (with no extension) in the "System32" folder.
Delete the file and the problem is solved.
I am using Visual Code 1.47.0 on Windows 8.1 with the latest version of the Python extension installed too. I just installed a module using pip. I then created a new Python file to test it. The IDE highlights the import statement as an error and the drop-down info box says "Unable to import 'extpylib'. If I try to run/debug the test file, I get a traceback error saying:
C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python38\Scripts
Exception has occurred: ModuleNotFoundError
No module named 'extpylib'
File "C:\Users\user\Documents\PythonProjects\test-extpylib.py", line 2, in <module>
import extpylib
If I run the pip install command again, even with the "--upgrade" command line argument, it says everything is installed and that I'm using the latest build. I am wondering if this is happening because the VSCODE Terminal window is still using Python 2.7, and not the version I have selected in the status bar, which is Python 3.8.3 64-bit? I am not using the Code Runner extension.
I assumeg that this mismatch of versions between the IDE and the VSCODE Terminal window is causing my issue? If so, how can I get the VSCODE Terminal window to use the same version as that which is selected in the IDE? If not, what is the real problem and how can I fix it?
You may have many python paths and VS code is using the wrong one. Choose the right interpreter path just clicking here:
I solved this by closing and re-opening the vs-code after installing new package.
It seems like an environment issue. In my own Visual Studio code integrated terminal, when I type which python and which pip, I get the correct path to both python and pip executables. So this:

Definitely seems to be the issue.
If your VSCODE terminal still uses Python 2.7, you could follow the tips presented here:
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.
and
Note: conda environments cannot be automatically activated in the integrated terminal if PowerShell is set as the integrated shell. See Integrated terminal - Configuration for how to change the shell.
and
Changing interpreters with the Python: Select Interpreter command doesn't affect terminal panels that are already open.
Of course, the package you installed in an environment is independent of other environments.
As you said the VSCode Terminal using Python2.7 while the status bar shows the selected interpreter is Python3.8.3 64-bit. This meaning you are using the global python(3.8.3) to run the python file while you install the package to the Python(2.7) environment.
Solution:
After you selected the python interpreter in the status bar, you need to activate the environment in Terminal through shortcut 'Ctrl+Shift+`'. You can through these commands to check which environment you are using:
In the terminal:
By command "pip --version" to check which pip you are using.
By command "python" -> "import sys; sys.executable" to check which python you are using.
By command "python" -> "import sys; sys.path" to check which 'site-package' the interpreter searching for.
pip command that was used to install the package is based on a different version of python versus what VS Code is using.
Check the python version of your pip command, run pip --version. For example, on my system, this is the output of this command.
$ pip --version
pip 22.0.4 from /Library/Python/3.8/site-packages/pip (python 3.8)
Check the version of code that VS code is using. For VS code 1.61, the python version will be visible at the bottom left corner while a python file is open in the editor. Screen shot of the same is given below. You can also observe from the screen shot that lazy_streams package is not being recognised by VS code.
To solve the error in VS code, update the python version in VScode to be same as that of pip. Updating of the version can be done by simply clicking on the Python version displayed, which will further prompt you to select among all available python versions on your system.
I can't be able to launch pycham (community version) from the cmd. I also set up the environment variable but still, I am getting this- 'pycharm-community' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
I have used all these commands - charm, charm., pycharm., pycharm. But, I am getting the same problem.
For MS windows:
Find where your pycharm is installed
If it is installed in C:\Program Files\JetBrains\PyCharm\
Type this in cmd:
setx PATH=%PATH%;C:\Program Files\JetBrains\PyCharm\bin
if not, then replace the path to where you pycharm is installed
setx PATH=%PATH%;C:\Path\to\your\pycharm\bin
If this doesn't work, try to restart you system once.
To start pycharm using command, first see what is the file name for executable for pycharm inside the bin folder and use that name. It can be pycharm.exe or something similar.
If it is pycharm.exe, use 'pycharm' in cmd to start it.
I have installed Visual Studio Code (VSC) and Code Runner.
When I use the terminal to execute my code it works fine and I get the results in the terminal window:
However, when I try to use Code Runner's keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Alt+NI keep getting this error message:
Which baffles me because VSC shows this:
I've tried rebooting (solution on another related SO question), creating a new conda environment inside VSC along with what seemed to be relevant from the VSC documentation here and here.
If anyone can help me understand what I need to be doing differently I would appreciate it.
You need to set a symbolic link between calling Python3 and Python since they're effectively the same thing. If you go into a normal command prompt / terminal and type Python3, you may get the same error. Whereas, if you type Python, it will launch the Python interpreter.
Close VSCode
If you're a Windows user you can use mklink to sort it out — open a Command Prompt as an Administrator, then navigate to your Python installation. e.g.:
cd C:\Python38
mklink python3.exe python.exe
In Linux, you can set a Symbolic link:
cd /usr/bin/python3
ln -s python.exe python3.exe
Startup VSCode again and it should work.
