Maybe there is problem with your interpreter.
Try this: Ctrl + Shift + P → Python: Select Interpreter → select your path (C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\Shared\Python36_64\python.exe)

If you have installed Python from an executable file and not from the Windows Store, you can change your terminal setting from internal to external and make cmd as the default terminal in Visual Studio Code.
You can directly edit those setting from settings.json:
"terminal.explorerKind": "external",
"terminal.integrated.defaultProfile.windows": "Command Prompt"
Why is python not working in vscode?
Cant run python code in vs code - Python - Code with Mosh Forum
When I try to run Python code in VS Code nothing shows up except the file directory
Python vs-code does not run (no-error)
Videos
For the past couple of weeks python hasn’t been working in my vs code. I beep getting this error even though I have python 3.12 and 3.13:
[Running] python -u "/var/folders/cy/zgxdjfr97wg0k1d_7gmmgchw0000gn/T/tempCodeRunnerFile.python" /bin/sh: python: command not found
I deleted and reinstalled python but it didn’t help. I even deleted and reinstalled vs code. What could be causing this?
It's been doing that sometimes. I try clicking out of the window of VS Code, exiting out entirely, try running another code from a different file first, click the run button 'till I can't run anymore, but a lot of the time it just keeps showing the name of the file. Sometimes it'll work, but a lot of the time it doesn't. Could it be particular errors in the code? That wouldn't make sense since it's supposed to indicate there's an error. Any help would be appreciated.
Hello,
I am having trouble with running my code. My code has nothing wrong with it, and Python is not telling me I have an error anywhere. But, when I try to run my code, it does not produce any outputs, even if I just try to print "hello". The terminal just tells me where my file is located instead of outputting the code, every time I run it
i.e. this is what terminal outputs for print("hello")
/Users/user/anaconda3/bin/python "/Users/user/Documents/Comp2300/assignment/A2 /A2codes.py"
Please let me know if you have any solutions.
My assignment is due tomorrow p_p.
Thanks
Guys, in my visual studio code, when I press the run python file button, nothing happens. Do you guys know what I can do to fix this? thank you very much
Hi everyone,
I’m having an issue executing a Python function directly in the integrated terminal of Visual Studio Code. Here’s the situation: 1. I have a Python file named math ex dm.py, and the code inside looks like this:
from math import * def mystère(a, b): if b == 0: return a, 1, 0 else: d, u, v = mystère(b, a % b) y = u - (a // b) * v return d, v, y
2. In the VS Code terminal, I want to execute the function mystère(71, 19) directly. I type:
mystère(71, 19)
3. However, I get the following error:
mystère: The term 'mystère' 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.
What I’ve Tried:
• Ensured the Python file is properly saved in the correct directory. • Verified that Python is installed (python --version outputs Python 3.11.5). • Confirmed that VS Code is using the correct Python interpreter. • Tried running python "math ex dm.py" in the terminal to execute the script, which works fine but doesn’t let me interactively call the mystère function.
My Goal:
I want to be able to call the mystère(71, 19) function directly from the terminal, not just by running the entire file. Is this possible in VS Code’s integrated terminal?
Any advice on how to fix this or properly interact with Python functions in VS Code would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
I had the same issue, and apparently it was there because my previous workspace wasn't closed (that is also why ctrl + shift + n worked for you)
You can close it by clicking File -> Close Workspace
And then opening the .py file again solved the issue.
You can try the following:
- use the shortcuts F5
- install and use the code-runner extension
- reinstall vscode
You are doing it wrong. Let say your file is on Desktop, so in terminal use python filename.py it will execute the file.
side notes: try to name a file without blank spaces in between, eg: instead of using Hello world.py you can use Hello_world.py .
If you have multiple python i.e. python2.7 and python3.xx , you should use python3 filename.py for python3.xx and python filename.py to execute it using python2.7 .
The commands placed after python are seen as system variables to be triggered by python, only file that end with .py/pyw are seen as file objects
