imports not working can't change python intepreter #23173

Open edenpage11 opened 7 months ago

edenpage11 commented 7 months ago

Type: Bug

When i pip installed exifread and reverse_geocoder, they say not resolved. I have my intepreter set as python3.12.2 in the bottom right corner and all the settings, but typing python --version in my terminal shows it as 3.9.13. I have uninstalled and reinstalled, closed and reopened, idk what else to do, I also can run the program if I change it to 3.9.13 in the bottom right corner and the not resolved errors go away

deleting and reopening the terminal also didn't fix it

karthiknadig commented 7 months ago

@edenpage11 we use whatever python you have on PATH in your terminal environment when you are using global python. You can use where python to see which python is being used.

Here are some of our recommendations based on best practices.

  1. Use virtual environment: In your case you are installing packages using pip binary directly. Just like how python can point to different python depending on how the PTH environment variable is set, pip can point to different locations. Installing packages into global environment can actually break your global python install. So, we recommend always creating virtual environment for each of the projects. You can do this using Python: Create Environment command from command palette and selecting Venv. When you use virtual environments, Python extension can make sure that python means the python in your virtual environment.
  2. Always use python -m pip install instead of pip install. Read this for more details on why: https://snarky.ca/why-you-should-use-python-m-pip/

Here is an example in my case, it really depends on what PATH env variable is doing for global environments: image

Here is a virtual environment. With virtual environments, Python extension can "activate" it and add it to PATH in such a way that python is going to be the one in the virtual environment. image

Is there a way to make it default to the 3.12? I don't want it to run the 3.9 at all

Using the where python also didn't print any paths

karthiknadig commented 7 months ago

@edenpage11 You can do it two ways.

Option 1

set PATH environment variable using this UI in windows: image

You will need to add the folder containing the python you want at the top: image

NOTE: You need to add the path folder containing the python, not the path to python binary itself.

Option 2

Uninstall the python 3.9. You can find where it is installed by using python -c "import sys;print(sys.executable)"
