I've just started programming in Python, I use Visual Studio 2015 as my IDE, and I have installed Anaconda, but it's not my default Python environment. For example, when I want to draw something with Python it says "matplot required for draw()".
I changed the path in my computer to "C:\Users\Maryam\Anaconda3;C:\Users\Maryam\Anaconda3\Scripts;C:\Users\Maryam\Anaconda3\Library\bin" and also in Visual Studio in menu Tools → Options → Environment, I change the path to "C:\Users\Maryam\Anaconda3\python.exe" and also I have changed windows and library paths, but still I can't work with Anaconda in Visual Studio. What should I do to solve this problem?
In the Python Environments window, when you selected interpreter, below it is option "Make this default environment for new projects". Press it
Here is an article that might answer your question.
It looks like you should install the free Python Tools For Visual Studio extension:
your default Python installation and installed PTVS, your Visual Studio installation is already set to use Anaconda’s Python interpreter in PTVS.

Am trying to use visual studio to run my python notebook. I have setup my venv.
I managed to select my Python interpreter in visual studio code using the ctrl + shift + p function to the specific python script in my newly made venv as per image below
But the kernel still remains the same as per image below
Appreciate any help to workaround this. Thnks
My jupyter extension version is v2022.9.1303220346.
If your are pre-release version. You can switch to release version.
And you can try the following way to find python interpreter.
Open your settins and search for Python Path.
Enter the absolute path here manually.
I'm on windows 11 and I'm looking to use cmake commands through developer visual studio 2022 command prompt x86 and automate it with python. I have seen that there's a similar post to this one but with c language, their solution was to set the environment variable to VS150COMNTOOLS but that's an older version of visual studio and I don't know how exactly I'll be able to set the environment variable like they did.
I am in anaconda dependency hell so I keep building and then deleting different environments and the Visual Studio Code cache seems confused about what environments are available, for example looking for an environment that has been deleted.
I uninstalled and reinstalled VSC (Windows Server 2012 - waiting for upgrade) but the issue persists.
Thanks for any thoughts.
When using Python in VS Code, it recognizes the available python executable file "python.exe", which we can view in the system variables:
In VS Code, it uses the python environment used last time by default, therefore, for unused python environments, you could select other available python environments in VS Code and ignore the deleted python environments. (F1, Python: Select Interpreter)
For more information about the python environment in VS Code, please refer to this document: Using Python environments in VS Code.
Reference: How do I add Python to the Windows PATH?
For a particular machine learning project, I needed to install Python 3.5 instead of the typical Python 3.6 I usually use. I set up my path variables such that within the command line or PowerShell, python launches my typical Anaconda Python 3.6, but python35 launches my Python 3.5 edition.
My favorite text editor / lightweight IDE to use is Visual Studio Code. However, when I use Visual Studio Code's integrated terminal to execute my Python scripts, it's unable to find my 3.5 edition.
Using Windows Powershell, things work completely fine:
However, when I attempt to access Python 3.5 within my Visual Studio Code PowerShell terminal, it can't recognize python35:
I've Google searched my the error ("the term ... is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet,..."), but every post I found on SO related to this issue (such as this one) has been about setting environment variables. I don't think this is the case here, since my normal PowerShell is able to recognize both python and python35. My suspicion is this has to do with the internal workings of the integrated terminal feature in Visual Studio Code, but I don't know enough to understand what to do next.
Does anyone know why this is happening? It's not a mission-critical issue, since I just pull up my PowerShell to execute my Python scripts, but I'd like to solve it for curiosity's sake.
On my Windows 7 64-bit, I installed Anaconda3 v4.4.0 in C:\Anaconda3, however it could not launch Jupyter (Can't open anaconda jupyter notebook: Network Error (dns_unresolved_hostname)), so I installed Microsoft Visual Studio Code then added python support, now i can run some simple python code such as
p = (4,5)
x,y=p
x
y
z=x+y
print(z)
Now my questions is, does Microsoft Visual Source Code has its own Python environment, or it's actually using Anaconda installed?
Since VS 2017 it comes with an Python Environment itself. So I would say that VS Code uses that and not Anaconda.
