Problem using VSCode for OSGEO4W and Python development

I want to use VSCode as editor for my OSGEO4W development. I can write and debug and run my programm, but the "outline"-window (which is pretty necessary) on the left side is not working.
When looking at the Python-Output there is the following error-message:
InvalidPythonEnvironment: Could not get version information for 'C:\\OSGEO4~1\\bin\\python.exe': InternalError(u'The subprocess C:\\OSGEO4~1\\bin\\python.exe has crashed (EOFError(), stderr=).',)
I am using this batchfile for starting VSCode:
rem #echo off
set OSGWO4W_ROOT=C:\OSGeo4W64
REM Setting HOME is necessary for VSCode
REM in order to find the global .gitignore-file
SET HOME=H:\
call "%~dp0\o4w_env.bat"
#echo off
path %PATH%;%OSGEO4W_ROOT%\apps\qgis\bin
path %PATH%;%OSGEO4W_ROOT%\apps\Qt4\bin
path %PATH%;%OSGEO4W_ROOT%\apps\Python27\Scripts
SET PYTHONPATH=%OSGEO4W_ROOT%\apps\python27\lib;%OSGEO4W_ROOT%\apps\python27\lib\site-packages;%OSGEO4W_ROOT%\bin;%PYSC_DIR%\Lib;C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\python\Python27\site-packages;
path %PATH%;C:\Program Files\Git\cmd
path %PATH%;C:\Program Files\Microsoft VS Code\bin
path %PATH%;C:\Program Files\dotnet\;C:\Windows\system32;c:\Windows;c\OSGeo4W64\bin;%OSGEO4W_ROOT%\
set QGIS_PREFIX_PATH=%OSGEO4W_ROOT:\=/%/apps/qgis
set GDAL_FILENAME_IS_UTF8=YES
rem Set VSI cache to be used as buffer, see #6448
set VSI_CACHE=TRUE
set VSI_CACHE_SIZE=1000000
set QT_PLUGIN_PATH=%OSGEO4W_ROOT%\apps\qt5\plugins
path %PATH%;%OSGEO4W_ROOT%
start /d "C:\Program Files\Microsoft VS Code\" Code.exe
When using VSCode with the standard-python-installation everything works fine.
VSCode-Version: 1.47.2
Python: 2.7.16 64bit

Batch file to execute python script

I'm trying to write a batch file to execute a python script and not having much luck. I tried the following:
#echo off
SET path C:\"Program Files\python37\python.exe"
C:\"projects\systemcheck.py -c systems.csv"
but get the following error:
C:\projects>nexus-script.bat Environment variable path C:\"Program
Files\python37\python.exe" not defined 'C:\"projects\systemcheck.py -c
systems.csv"' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

It may be easiest to specify the full path to the Python executable. That way you don't have to worry about the PATH environment variable.
#echo off
"C:\Program Files\python37\python.exe" C:\projects\systemcheck.py -c systems.csv
If you absolutely need to set the PATH environment variable, you would do it like this:
#echo off
SET "PATH=C:\Program Files\python37;%PATH%"
python C:\projects\systemcheck.py -c systems.csv
Note that the path to the Python folder goes before the previous contents of PATH; this ensures that that is the Python that gets run if you have multiple Python installations on you computer.

You need to have your FULL path in quotes. Example: SET path to "C:\Program Files\python37\python.exe"
You don't need to SET the path, you can do what Jack mentioned in a past comment.

CMD can't normaly read 'C:\Program Files'

I have some problem with my WIndows CMD.
Some time I need to open python file using CMD command. And I write: 'C:\Program Files\Python X.X\python.exe file.py' but have error: 'C:\Program' isn't system command (maybe not the same, I have another OS language).
With different methods I have different errors but can't open python file.
Examples:
(Picture) translate: can't find 'C:\Program'...
(Picture) another example when I trying to write python directory first and then start python file, but it can't find python file.
Thanks for helping me.

There seems to be 2 different problems here.
Windows does not recognise spaces in directory or file names on the command line, so you need to put the directory insied "" .
i.e. "C:\Program Files\Python 3.4\python.exe"
In your second picture, suggests that run.py does not exist in the current directory. Change Directory to where the run.py file is before running that command.

First of all go to the directory where your python file is located ... like:
cd "c:\users\someone\documents\..."
On your pictures you are trying to run python file located in system32 folder but i guess it is not located there so move where the file is with that cd command
Then as Martin says the problem with path of python.exe is the space between words. To solve put the path into quotation marks.
But u can add python to system path and insted of writing full path u can write only
python file.py
How to add python to path see here https://superuser.com/questions/143119/how-to-add-python-to-the-windows-path

How do i append to the Maya PYTHONPATH?

I am working through Practical Maya Programming, and trying to set a 'development root' on my PC, I have followed the instructions (below) exactly but it is not working - At the point where I type 'mayapy.exe' I get the warning "'mayapy.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."
From the book:
Let's decide where we will do our coding. We'll call this location the development root for the rest of the book. To be concise, I'll choose C:\mayapybook\pylib to house all of our Python code.
Create the development root folder, and inside of it create an empty file named minspect.py.
Now, we need to get C:\mayapybook\pylib onto Python's sys.path so it can be imported. The easiest way to do this is to use the PYTHONPATH environment variable. From a Windows command line you can run the following to add the path, and ensure it worked:
> set PYTHONPATH=%PYTHONPATH%;C:\mayapybook\pylib
> mayapy.exe
>>> import sys
>>> 'C:\\mayapybook\\pylib' in sys.path
True
>>> import minspect
>>> minspect
<module 'minspect' from '...\minspect.py'>
EDIT
This is how it is working for me at the moment:
PS C:\Users\Me> set PYTHONPATH=%PYTHONPATH%;C:\mayapybook\pylib
C:\mayapybook\pylib : The term 'C:\mayapybook\pylib' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file,
or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and
try again.
At line:1 char:29
+ set PYTHONPATH=%PYTHONPATH%;C:\mayapybook\pylib
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (C:\mayapybook\pylib:String) [], CommandNotFoundException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException
So the code from the book is not working but the code from the post by DrHaze seems to:
PS C:\Users\Me> setx PATH "%PATH%C:\mayapybook\pylib\"
SUCCESS: Specified value was saved.
But when I run the Maya Python Interpreter and check if C:\mayapybook\pylib\ is in sys path it returns false:
>>> 'C:\\mayapybook\\pylib' in sys.path
False

This error "'mayapy.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file." means that the path where mayapy.exe is located is not included in the PATH environment variable. Your system tries to look in all the folders included in the PATH variable but can't find an executable called mayapy.exe.
The executable mayapy.exe is generally located here:
C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya(VERSION)\bin\mayapy.exe
on my computer it's located here: C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2014\bin\mayapy.exe
To add the mayapy.exe location to your path, use one of the following commands:
setx PATH "%PATH%;C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2014\bin\" if you
want to change it permanently
set PATH "%PATH%;C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2014\bin\" only works for the current instance of the cmd session.
EDIT
The error you show in your edit is the source of the problem. Windows failed to set the environment variable PYTHONPATH. Hence, when you execute 'C:\\mayapybook\\pylib' in sys.path it returns False. sys.path is in fact containing the value of PYTHONPATH. That's why it returns False.
Now, why did it fail to set this environment variable?
First I can see that you are using Windows Powershell, keep this in mind.
The command I gave you is:
set PATH "%PATH%;C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2014\bin\"
You wrote:
set PYTHONPATH=%PYTHONPATH%;C:\mayapybook\pylib
What it should be:
set PYTHONPATH "%PYTHONPATH%;C:\mayapybook\pylib\"
The syntax is a bit different and this last command should work.
As an explaination, your book gives you some commands to type in the vintage/old-style windows terminal: cmd.exe
As you are using Windows Powershell, some commands might have a different syntax.
Now what you can do is:
Use cmd.exe (Right click on the title bar -> Properties to custom it)
Use Powershell but keep in mind that the syntax might be a bit different than in your book

If you are using Powershell, there are different commands and strategies for managing environment variables.
You can set a variable permanently with SetEnvironmentVariable
You can set for the current shell session with: $env:VARNAME =
VARVALUE
You can put the commands to set variables in a powershell profile
file.
I would go with the third option. All three are detailed below:
Option 1. To append the directory "C:\mayapybook\pylib\" to the existing
PYTHONPATH permanently for your account:
[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("PYTHONPATH", $env:PYTHONPATH +";C:\mayapybook\pylib\", "User")
Option 2. To append the Maya bin folder to your PATH for only the current
shell session:
$env:PATH += ";C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2016\bin\"
Option 3. Create a powershell profile and set your env vars there.
First you'll need to make sure powershell scripts can run locally:
Hit the windows button, start typing powershell, right click and open as administrator. Enter:
Get-ExecutionPolicy
If it is says Restricted or AllSigned, set it to RemoteSigned like so:
Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned
Close that shell. Now in another powershell (not admin) type:
cd ~\Documents
md WindowsPowerShell
cd WindowsPowerShell
New-Item -path "profile.ps1" -type file
notepad.exe profile.ps1
Paste into the file any commands you want to run whenever a new powershell is opened:
Write-Host "Hello From Your Profile"
$env:PATH += ";C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2016\bin\"
$env:PYTHONPATH += ";C:\mayapybook\pylib\"
Now whenever you open a powershell, you'll get a silly message and those paths will be set. You can test by typing:
Write-Host $env:PATH
or to list all env vars:
Get-ChildItem Env:
You should now be able to run commands from the maya bin directory. For example, type: maya to start maya.
Some other useful powershell env var commands here.

How can I run command in Microsoft Exchange Server Powershell through Python script?

I want to check the number of mailbox in Microsoft Exchange Server. This command works fine in standard cmd.exe:
"C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe" -command ". 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V14\bin\RemoteExchange.ps1'; Connect-ExchangeServer -auto ; Get-Mailbox | Measure-Object"
Output is
...
Count : 3
Average :
Sum :
Maximum :
Minimum :
Property :
Then I am going to code it in Python, using "-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned":
cmd = "C:\\Windows\\System32\\WindowsPowerShell\\v1.0\\powershell.exe
-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned
-command \". 'C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft\\Exchange Server\\V14\\bin\\RemoteExchange.ps1'; Connect-ExchangeServer -auto; Get-Mailbox | Measure-Object\""
os.system(cmd)
There is lots of error about loading RemoteExchange.ps1 file.
Get-ItemProperty : Cannot find path 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ExchangeServer\v14\Setup' because it does not exist.

Although the welcome screen of Exchange Management Shell appears, it failed to load RemoteExchange.ps1, and "Get-Mailbox" command is not working at all.
I guess I must have missed something important. How can I solve this problem? Please help.
Edit: Why should I add -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned in Python script? If I do not do that, it will result in a different error:
File C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V14\bin\RemoteExchange.ps1 cannot be loaded because the execution of scripts is disabled on this system. Please see "get-help about_signing" for more details.
Refer to this thread, and RemoteSigned is better than Unrestricted. Both of them work in cmd.exe, but not work in Python script.

I ran into the exact same problem under slightly different circumstances but the error message was identical. I was trying to provision MS Exchange via Puppet and Powershell scripts. You are suffering from the side effects of the File System Redirector (Windows) which runs silently. Apparently 64-bit registry keys can't be accessed by 32-bit programs and the File System Redirector will change things up on you without you even knowing it.
I found this to be an elegant solution for my situation:
32-bit applications can access the native system directory by
substituting %windir%\Sysnative for %windir%\System32. WOW64
recognizes Sysnative as a special alias used to indicate that the file
system should not redirect the access. This mechanism is flexible and
easy to use, therefore, it is the recommended mechanism to bypass file
system redirection. Note that 64-bit applications cannot use the
Sysnative alias as it is a virtual directory not a real one.
