I read this Stack Overflow post on a similar issue, but the suggestions there don’t seem to be working. I installed Visual Studio Code on my Windows machine and added the Python extension. Then I changed the Python path for my project to C:Usersusername.condaenvstompython.exe
. The .vscode/settings.json
has this in it:
{ "python.pythonPath": "C:\Users\username\.conda\envs\tom\python.exe" }
The status bar in Visual Studio Code also shows:
But when I do conda env list
even after doing conda activate tom
in the terminal I get the output:
# conda environments: # base * C:ProgramDataAnaconda3 tom C:Usersusername.condaenvstom
Instead of:
# conda environments: # base C:ProgramDataAnaconda3 tom * C:Usersusername.condaenvstom
Also the packages not installed in base don’t get imported when I try python app.py
. What should I do?
where python
runs, but it doesn’t give any output.
Also,
import os import sys os.path.dirname(sys.executable)
gives
'C:\Python38'

Answer
First, open the Anaconda prompt (How to access Anaconda command prompt in Windows 10 (64-bit)), and type:
conda activate tom
To activate your virtual environment.
Then to open Visual Studio Code in this active environment, type
code
And it should work.
