Incorrect Python Version Showing in Visual Studio Code #19

Closed jasoncliao closed 2 years ago

Hi there,

This may be a simple question but I have downloaded the newest version of Python 3.10.2 but when I type in "python --version" it returns "Python 2.7.16." I believe as a result i cannot run the pip function as well. See image below. I have selected "interpreter" to be Python 3.10.2 version

Many thanks for your help!

Jason

I'm new myself and I have the same problem. If you are on a Mac (which I'm guessing you are) Python 2.7 is installed by Apple when they ship the computer. If you need to use Python to deploy your script simply type Python3 deploy.py in the terminal and it should work. Or any other terminal command that requires the use of Python, just remember to type Python3

You'll want to install python3

And then use pip3 instead of pip

When running your python commands, just use python3 instead of `python1.

Try pip3 --version
