"Run Code" for python file runs `python <filename>` instead of `python3 <filename>` as is documented

Type: Bug

I'm following the Python Tutorial steps on the official website: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/python-tutorial#_run-hello-world

ie.

The button opens a terminal panel in which your Python interpreter is automatically activated, then runs python3 hello.py (macOS/Linux) or python hello.py (Windows)

The options on Mac are slightly different, but according to the website VS Code should be issuing the file with python3 on Mac, but in fact it is calling python which should only be called on Windows.

EDIT: I have adjusted "code-runner.executorMap.python" to "python3 -u" in settings.json.

VS Code version: Code 1.73.0 (8fa188b2b301d36553cbc9ce1b0a146ccb93351f, 2022-11-01T15:38:50.881Z) OS version: Darwin x64 22.2.0 Modes: Sandboxed: No

Sounds like you are using the code-runner extension, not the official Python extension

My bad, I understand now.
