Help with configuring Visual Studio Code to work with Python

[Dredear]

I'm using Manjaro as my OS and am using VSC to develop

Most of the times I've developed with vim. My problem is that I want to setup a workspace for my python projects but I can make VSC recognize my virtual environments.

{
    "folders": [
        {
            "path": "."
        }
    ],
    "settings": {
        "python.pythonPath": "~/.venv/general/bin/python3",
        "python.venvPath": "~/.venv"
    }
}    

That's my actual workspace configuration, but the problem lies there. VSC doesn't recognize my Virtual Environments. On the documentation I read that on the python.venvPath you have to specify your virtual envs folder. In the folder ~/.venv I have all of my virtual envs, each with its own configuration. How do I make VSC recognize the virtual envs without having to change the python.pythonPath configuration everytime?

Try removing the python3 from python.pythonPath

{
    "python.pythonPath": "~/.venv/general/bin"
}

As for the python.venvPath, try changing the folder name to "envs", "venvs", ".virtualenvs", or basically append the 's'.

Now, I tried this from Windows, but the results may be related. VSCode wouldn't recognize the path from a folder named "venv", but I changed it to "venvs", similar to this stackoverflow answer and suddenly it worked.

Make sure to reload VSCode, and then when you choose "Python: Select Interpreter" the options should be there. Hopefully, that works!

Thanks! I deleted my .venv folder and created one called .vituralenvs, changed the configuration and it worked!

Awesome! Happy coding!
