VSCode can't find python.

VSCode can't find python.

I'm trying to run VSCode on my Windows 11 computer.

I've followerd all the instructions for installing VSCode on Windows but when I start it up and select the folder for my downloaded Open Source Prusa Firmware it gives me an error that it can't find Python:

[cmake] Not searching for unused variables given on the command line. [cmake] -- Could NOT find Python3 (missing: Python3_EXECUTABLE Interpreter) [cmake] -- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred! [cmake] CMake Error at cmake/Utilities.cmake:6 (message): [cmake] Python3 not found.

Python is indeed installed on my computer. I can do this in the VSCode terminal:

S C:\Prusa-Firmware For Gemini Version\Prusa-Firmware> python --version Python 3.12.3

And even if it's looking for Python3, I've got it set up so that Python3 links through to the location of python, and I can do this in the VSCode Terminal:

PS C:\Prusa-Firmware For Gemini Version\Prusa-Firmware> Python3 --version Python 3.12.3

so it's definitely finding it python, it's just not finding it when it's going through the CMake for loading in the Prusa Firmware.

What do a I do?

Have you tried deleting the CMakeCache folder?

Also is Python in PATH? The fact that python —version works seems to confirm it.

Please don’t create an alias Python3 for python. It is only on non-Windows system where you would use python3 instead of python.

Python3_EXECUTABLE is an internal variable name in CMake, See: https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/module/FindPython3.html

On my end, if Python is in PATH I have never had any problems.

I tried a fresh clone, and it works fine for me

Here is what PATH looks like on my end

Python 3.12.3 also works fine for me:
