How to solve error in VS Code - exited with code=127-CodePudding

Baffled by this. I've been using VSCode for a few weeks and have python installed.

def print menu():
    print ("Let's play a game of Wordle!")
    print ("Please type in a 5-letter word") 
        print_menu()
print_menu()

So far so simple, but when I run it I get this

[Running] python -u "/Users/davidelks/Dropbox/Personal/worldle.py" /bin/sh: python: command not found

[Done] exited with code=127 in 0.006 seconds

What does this mean? I'm guessing it failed but why? This appears to be trivial.

UPDATE:

Tried:

def print menu():
        print ("Let's play a game of Wordle!")
        print ("Please type in a 5-letter word") 
        
    print_menu()

It failed.

Try to end your filename with (.py) or try reloading the python extension.

Try entering the VSCode command. On linux, you can digital control shift P.

In the dialog that appears at the top, type: select python interpreter.

Select option: Python: select interpreter

After that, select the python interpreter you intend to use with your VSCode and see if it worked.
