I've been stuck trying to install Python on VS Code for the past few hours. I've searched and found multiple answers but I still get the same error whenever I try to run a program through the run button.

C:/Users/tomiw/AppData/Local/Programs/Python/Python310/python.exe c:/Users/tomiw/Desktop/Java/test.py

-bash: C:/Users/tomiw/AppData/Local/Programs/Python/Python310/python.exe: No such file or directory

When I check my files I can see the executable there, but for some reason VS Code does not recognize it.

I had that issue for JS, the thing that fixed it for me was editing the systems properties, under the Environments variables.
After that I rebooted my computer and it worked.
If that dosent work try manually installing Python from their site.

CodePudding user response：

Did you install the python extension?

Please try uninstalling and reinstalling VS Code and python and python extensions. Follow this tutorial.

Other possible workarounds:

Set defaultInterpreterPath:

Add the following configuration to your settings.json file:

    "python.defaultInterpreterPath": "your_python_interpreter_path",

Custom interpreter path:

1. Use Ctrl Shift P to open the command palette.
2. search for Python:Select Interpreter.
3. 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 ).
