@asadullahkhan Try with the latest version of the extension. If you continue to see this issue, try uninstalling the extension, reload VSCode. Then go to %USERPROFILE%\.vscode\extension directory and delete all instances of ms-python.python-* . Then re-install the extension. This should resolve the issue.

@rholland have you tried the steps in my previous comment? I so can you share the output of dir/ls in ~/.vscode/extensions folder.

Same issue with an offline install of VS Code and the python extension from a VSIX.

Hi, Just go to the vscode python library and remove all the python library version & re-install it.

What do you mean by the «vscode python library»? I tried uninstalling all extensions and made sure the ~/.vscode/extensions folder was empty before reinstalling. I also tried a different version of the extension (ms-python.python-2020.11.367453362.vsix) and another version of VS Code (1.49.0). No luck.

On my regular laptop that’s connected to the internet I’ve had no problems. This is a locked down environment with no internet access, also it’s running Windows Serer 2019 if that’s a problem. This is the first time I’m running it there.

I have same issue. Also, Python extension doesn’t even seem to try to load when I’m working on a Python file.
Extension is installed and enabled but not listed in «Running Extensions». Had to install via VSIX as laptop behind proxy.

«Invalid python interpreter selected» prompt vscode

I’ve been trying to setup my python workspace on vscode but the software doesn’t seem to pick up the fact that I have python installed, and keeps telling me to install python. I’ve tried manually adding the path of the .exe file but the «invalid interpreter prompt» shows up every single time. Just for proof of me having the correct path in the settings here’s a screenshot of the .json file and the command prompts I used to obtain the path.

Maybe try restarting VS Code (from the command palette) or your computer? Also, VS Code might not have permissions to access/run that executable, so make sure to run it as an administrator.

I tried reinstalling both vscode and python through the instructions from the command palette, and ran vscode as administrator but nothing made a difference. I added the python.exe file location to PATH as well

I’m having the same problem here after I upgraded my python to 3.10.6 (LATEST at the time of writing). VS Code is reporting An Invalid Python interpreter is selected, please try changing it to enable features such as IntelliSense, linting, and debugging. and not accepting any virtual envs created with this version of python.

Same for me, I even tried installing older (3.9/3.8) python versions and it still comes up with the same message. I’m wondering if the extension is running some python code (eg to get version etc) and getting an unexpected response?.

On my device (VSCode 1.71.2, Python extension 2022.14.0) I could solve the problem by clearing the python interpreter setting.

For this, use Ctrl + Shift + P to open the command palette. Then, enter Python: Clear Workspace Interpreter Setting . On the next panel, select to delete all.

After this, you should be able to select an interpreter by entering Python:Select Interpreter in the command palette.

this solved my problem, but I still don’t understand why. could you provide further explanation of what happened under the hood? At first, I thought I was having problems with PATH, but now I am even more confused.

First, make sure you have the python extension installed.

Then follow the steps below to choose an interpreter for vscode:

1. Use Ctrl + Shift + P to open the command palette
2. search for Python:Select Interpreter (or click select interpreter in the lower right corner)
3. If the panel shows an interpreter, select the available interpreter. If the panel doesn’t have an interpreter option. Please select the first item Enter interpreter path
4. Then paste the full path to your python.exe (or go to explorer by selecting Find and select your python.exe )

If it still fails, try installing the pre-release python extension.

Команда python выбрать интерпретатор привела к ошибке

Initially, when I tried to run my python files, I would get an error that jupyter notebook could not be loaded. When I finally went to set the interpreter using Shift-ctl-P , I got «Command ‘Python: Select Interpreter’ resulted in an error (command ‘python.setInterpreter’ not found)»

Solved it by deleting .vscode in my home directory. I’m guessing this would be %USERPROFILE%.vscode in windows. Relaunching vscode recreated the .vscode directory and then it prompted me to download all the extensions I needed. Not sure if it helps, but I think this may fix most of the problems above.

I have been using VSCode for a while and so far everything was good. Yesterday I created a new django project with it’s own virtual environment. However, something happened to VSCode that it cannot find any interpreters. When I click shift+command+P and type >python: select interpreter, it gives me an error. I can still run my code and it works, which is weird but it is very uncomfortable to work like that because the colors are not highlighted in the code.

I ran into this problem with my newly installed VSCode on my Win10，and I fixed it by referring to other people’s blog. The solution is somewhat complicated as follows:

First find the location where Microsoft VS Code is installed, then create a test folder in the same level directory, open this folder with VSCode, create a new VSCode window and open the folder where your python files are located, then select python interpreter.

I also faced the same issue and was able to solve it by doing the following:

I tried reverting to an older version of the python extension to see if that would fix the problem and it fixed the problem.

To install older version of python extension on VScode: Go to Extensions(Ctrl+Shift+X) then right click on the python extension, click on Install Another Version and choose an older version.

I hope this helps others who are facing the same issue!

I created file .ipynb and open it with VS Code. I had the same error.

Then I created folder and put this file to folder. After that, I opened folder with VS Code and try command Python: Select interpreter again. And it works. I was able to choose version of interpreter.

I hope this will be useful to you.

@karthiknadig There is nothing in the Output > Python panel if I am looking in the correct location. I assume you mean the Output that can be reached by View -> Output. I also don’t see anything in View -> Problems (It simply says «No problems have been detected in the workspace»). In the Help -> Toggle Developer tools I do see some errors and warnings. Interestingly, I see errors with v2020.10.332292344 (which eventually works) and v2021.2.636928669 (which doesn’t work). In both cases, after opening vscode and it begins to load a python project, I get a warning in the bottom right of the workspace:

IntelliCode Python support requires you to use the Microsoft Python Language Server (preview)

When I click on the button: Enable it and Reload Window, the v2020.10 version loads the python interpreter and the v2020.2 never does.

Looking at the error log in the Developer Tools in v2020.2 (after enabling the Microsoft Python Language Server) I see the following errors:

IntelliCode Python support requires you to use the Microsoft Python Language Server (preview). onDidChangeNotification @ notificationsAlerts.ts:40

Cannot activate extension ‘Python’ because it depends on extension ‘ms-toolsai.jupyter’, which failed to activate. _logMessageInConsole @ abstractExtensionService.ts:718

In addition to the errors there are 5 warnings 4 of which seem to be related to the same issue

[Extension Host] stack trace: Error: Unable to write into user settings. Please open the user settings to correct errors/warnings in it and try again. at w.reject (file:///Applications/Visual Studio Code.app/Contents/Resources/app/out/vs/workbench/workbench.desktop.main.js:2013:16717) at file:///Applications/Visual Studio Code.app/Contents/Resources/app/out/vs/workbench/workbench.desktop.main.js:2013:20787 at async w.doWriteConfiguration (file:///Applications/Visual Studio Code.app/Contents/Resources/app/out/vs/workbench/workbench.desktop.main.js:2013:13896) v @ console.ts:137

So I am wondering why the Extension Host is not able to write to the user settings. Maybe that is the root cause, which produces the errors?
