Manage -> Settings, Choose Workspace, click the button Open Settings(JSON) at the top right corner. This will generate a folder called .vscode and settings.json for workspace is there. As python environments said: Selecting an interpreter from the list adds an entry for python.pythonPath with the path to the interpreter inside your Workspace Settings . But actually, python.pythonPath setting is being removed from all 3 scopes - User, workspace, workspace folder. You can set "python.experiments.optOutFrom":["DeprecatePythonPath - experiment"] in User Settings.json to make python.pythonpath achievable again. More on reddit.com

its a problem of vscode version, newer releases indicate python.pythonPath is being deprecated in favor of python.defaultInterpreterPath. So if you try to set your variable "python.defaultInterpreterPath" to point to your desired interpreter, this will solve your problem.

r/vscode on Reddit: Selecting a python interpreter doesn't update settings.json
February 11, 2021 -
I open a folder in vscode, this folder does not have a settings.json and I run ctrl + shift p, and select an interpreter. This does not create a settings.json file and add settings to it.
I have also tried opening file -> settings, editing workspace settings so I have a settings.json and selecting interpreter but still nothing is added.
I have also tried creating a ${folder}.code-workspace settings file and selecting interpreter but nothing is added.
How do I make my folder a valid workspace so I can select an interpreter and the settings.json will update?

unfortunately I don't know of a way to do this, I think the way settings.json works is to just override the default settings, but when you open it up in vscode there should be intellisense to help autocomplete the setting names
