Selecting the correct Python interpreter in VSCode's Python Extension

These are the settings adjustments you'll need to make to use a conda Python environment to execute your code inside of VSCode.

[@Djmattymulz]

It's amazing how long it took me to find this video, which covers *exactly* what I needed. It wasn't complicated once it was laid out. Thank you SO much!

[@N1tm0]

can u help me because i installed python and theres no version on my screen i dont have a interpreter.

[@upcom1ng116]

Oh my gosh! I spend 2 days searching for the answer and you have it. Thanks a lot man.

[@datpspguy]

two years later and this video is still helpful, was going crazy for hours regarding python-decouple package and running in iTerm vs vscode provided two different results. Thank you for sharing and explaining

[@SHONNER]

Thanks. This helped me from going crazy with an old Python being listed in the corner still.

[@biack1st]

dude this helped me out so much! I was trying to install Selenium. But anytime I installed, it went to the wrong interpreter. Thank you dude!

[@aspirationalaudio4025]

I am from egypt and i want to thank you so much for this detailed demonstration , really i love you maaaan 😆😆

[@rashadnelson1873]

Wow, spent the past hour trying to figure this out for the Beautiful Soup module in VSCode. This video was exactly what I needed. Thanks so much for providing brother.

[@nicoler2941]

This was exactly what I was looking for! Thank you for this video!

[@pratikdhakal884]

Thank you so much man. I had spent more than 3-4 hours trying to fix this. Your video was exactly what I needed!

[@gabrielgarcia7554]

Thank you so much, this was incredibly useful. I had no idea what was going on, I could not import anything. Thank you once again.

[@balaramkrishna3863]

3:10 you'll find your answer , thanks boss great video

[@philmeier4321]

amazing, looking for this solution since 2 days. You fixed it

[@tedwow2625]

Thank you sir! my problem wasn't solved by the first step, but the "ctrl+shift+P" switching the correct interpreter !!! :D

[@empraticacursos4475]

Very clear and lucid explanation. Subscribed. Cheers from Brazil.

[@0xsuperman]

Ok so I selected a specific python interpreter in VScode, however, the terminal still doesn't reflect to the selected python interpreter. It seems like you are suggesting there is no easy way to handle the selected python interpreter within VSCode, but I should open a separate command line prompt if I want to say pip install new libraries for the selected python interpreter, is that right?

[@yvettegong1356]

Awesome!! I used this to figure out how to reinstall Flask in the right environment

[@willprobablydie8774]

Amazing walkthrough! You saved me all sorts of headache.

[@gibuzzx6018]

wasnt the vid for me but u made me aware that is didnt enable python in VS and thats why i couldnt find my interpreters. Thanks

[@Vignesh-mh6if]

Thank you so much. Because of this issue, I never used my installed vscode. Glad that I found your video. Works perfectly. Thanks a lot

[@MrAndreocity]

Thanks a lot I was struggling with this issue for an embarrassing amount of time.

[@Lucas_Bazilio]

Man, You should explain how to CREATE a new python interpreter path. In my case I have a new python.exe in my folder.
However when I select it. It does not recognize the interpreter. Changing from already installed interpreters is trivial from that option...

[@tarabolger5600]

Omg I spent the whole day searching for this! thank you so much!!

[@wuarkerz88]

thank you so much, exactly what I was looking for

[@bashar9200]

Thank you so very much!! your explanation had really helped me figure out how VScode look on different interpreters

[@nope6886]

[@agst480]

You really saved my final test in the eletrical engineering, thanks a lot

[@adamabengali3727]

Thanks, I appreciate your help! It save my time

[@epiendless1128]

Command 'Python: Select Interpreter' resulted in an error. command 'python.setInterpreter' not found
(edit: OK, in case it helps someone else who came here looking for the answer, solution is to click on the restricted window on the bottom and trust the folder)

[@learningstuff5679]

I've seen other teachers just click the run code play button, why are you saying we have to type the "python3 "filename.py" command just to run the code?? Your method works for me and runs the code, but when I click the run code play button in the top right hand corner, I get an error that say: /bin/sh: 1: python: not found ". I have python 3.9.2 installed. Also, when I go to RUN > Run Code Without Debugging, the code will execute without any errors. So my question is: Why can't I use that run code play button in the top right hand corner like my instructors are in their course videos? It's driving me crazy!!

[@okwenoalfanpeter8181]

thanks man very helpful stuff

[@poordelir]

That worked.
Thank you.

[@henrijohansson2482]

I have more complex problem of not being able to import local relative python files. I have the right interpreter

[@johnhurley8918]

Thank the lord! And that you specifically

[@richard_wenner]

Lifesaver! Cheers.

[@dimaua1830]

Thanks for the tutorial. I was able to import urllib3 with base anaconda interpreter.

[@DamonMedekMusic]

Trying to get BeautifulSoup to work. It's imported correctly, and I'm using the right interpreter. But 'soup' is still undefined. what a headache.

[@VernorsDoctor]

Thank u so much for this video

[@quiztherapy6851]

what if it still says module not found. I am trying to install selenium vs code mac. Chose python 3.8 intepretter tried my pip3 install selenium. I also entered interpreter path by clicking on + but it still throws an error.

[@hakanbozcuk7761]

[@anandava7712]

[@jhonxross5775]

Hi, I just installed VSCode in my MacBook Air m1 and trying to learn python
after installing code runner and creating a sample print( ) code and hitting run code in OUTPUT
it says "/bin/sh: python: command not found [Done] exited with code=127 in 0.008 seconds.

[@yonatangoldin]

what if my desired interpreter doesnt appear in the list of intepreters available, but definetly exists. its just that i dont want to search for it every time and i want vscode to detect it automatically. how can i add an intepreter (in a venv) to that list?
