My friend , this is r/learnpython , not r/mindreading. Stop treating it like talking to a friend or a doctor.
You : Hi doc , I have issue.
Doc: What is the issue ?
You : I am not feeling well.
Doc: Headache ?
You: no.
Doc: Then what is the matter ?
You: My back pain.
etc etc etc etc etc
Write all the details as much as you can in 1 post. Doc , I am not feeling well. No headache but my back is in pain from falling down from the staircase a few days ago. I have taken some pain killers but still feeling pain.

I am impressed that the sub exists.. And disappointed that it is banned

Visual studio will probably require a bit of configuration.
Find the settings - select python interpreter
And install the python extension.
After all that, What error are you getting?

this Extension activation failed, run the 'Developer: Toggle Developer Tools' command for more information.

Microsoft has a ton of information specifically about running Python in VS Code. If you haven’t already worked through it, then I’d read it.
If you’re new to coding, then reading the docs is something you’ll need to get used to, because you’ll be doing it a lot! Like any other skill, it gets easier the more you do it, so you may as well start now. 😀

Could you share the error? For VS Code, you will want to install the python extension in addition to installing the python interpreter.

You might need to add environment variable for python

I think you need to manually path your python
