• Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
• Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

Formatting code on Discord

Here's how to format Python code on Discord:

```py
print('Hello world!')
```

These are backticks, not quotes. Check this out if you can't find the backtick key.

For long code samples, you can use our pastebin.

[zinc roost]

don't post screenshot of code

if the module is not found, you need to pip install it

[spiral bone]

I did it

Several times.

But i don't know why it's still errors in there

I've even downloaded the requirements.

[zinc roost]

do py -0p in your terminal

[opaque jay]

Right, I don't want to see that. I want to see the terminal is VSCode after you press the run button

[spiral bone]

[opaque jay]

Can you do pip --version in that same terminal?

[spiral bone]

(.env) sh-5.2$ pip --version

[opaque jay]

...... okay I am now a bit concerned about where this venv was created from. Can you run this last command for me:
python -m pip --version

[spiral bone]

[opaque jay]

So when you pasted the results of pip list before, that was in a different terminal outside of VSCode?

[spiral bone]

Yes

Linux terminal

[opaque jay]

In the VSCode terminal, can you run this: .env/bin/activate and then do pip --version?

[opaque jay]

in that other terminal, can you do pip --version?

[spiral bone]

(.env) sh-5.2$ .env/bin/activate
sh: .env/bin/activate: Permission denied
(.env) sh-5.2$

[spiral bone]

Traceback (most recent call last):

[opaque jay]

How did you do pip list if pip --version is now erroring in that same terminal?

[spiral bone]

Sorry I put it in wrong terminal

(.env) bazzite@bazzite:~$ pip --version
pip 25.2 from /var/home/bazzite/چت بات/.env/lib64/python3.13/site-packages/pip (python 3.13)
(.env) bazzite@bazzite:~$

Here is the Linux terminal

[spiral bone]

I think there is something wrong with path

Or vs code

[opaque jay]

Can you fully restart VSCode, open a terminal within VSCode, do .env/bin/activate, and then do pip --version?

Also, I think I know the answer to this question, but to create the venv did you install Python separately or is the venv based off of what shipped with your OS?

[spiral bone]

Restart? You mean close it and then open VS code?

[opaque jay]

Yeah, fully close all processes of it and then re-open it

[spiral bone]

I downloaded it through my vs code, but I did pip through the Linux terminal.

[opaque jay]

So Python is not something you can download through VSCode, you likely just installed the VSCode extension to work with Python from VSCode. If you didn't install separately, then it is based on your OSes default Python. That Python usually doesn't have pip installed.

The weird part here is VSCode is not picking up your env's site-packages folder which does have pip....

[spiral bone]

I think I'm cooked right?

[opaque jay]

Can you take a screenshot of the bottom right hand corner of VSCode? I want to see what interpreter it's using

[spiral bone]

How should I fix it?

[opaque jay]

screenshot first and then we can figure out to go about it

[spiral bone]

Bottem right

[opaque jay]

Wait.

3.12?

[spiral bone]

Ya I think

[opaque jay]

Can you click that and take a screenshot of what pops up near the top of the screen?

[opaque jay]

The issue is that this says 3.13. These are 2 different Python versions

[spiral bone]

This thing pops up

[opaque jay]

When you click the ".env (3.12.11)" thing?

[spiral bone]

Ya

[opaque jay]

Are you sure you're clicking on the right thing? Because that isn't what should be popping up

You should see something like this instead

[spiral bone]

No just this thing pops up

I clicked on. Env 3.12.11 and this pops up

[opaque jay]

Okay, can you go to settings and open up the command palette instead?

[spiral bone]

Ya

I open it

[opaque jay]

Type: "Select Python Interpreter" and you should see something pop up similar to that

[spiral bone]

Ya

Now I see the python version list

[opaque jay]

Cool, can you share what pops up?

[opaque jay]

Have you ever created multiple venvs in the same folder?

I am not concerned somehow have a clashing 3.12 and 3.13 living in the same venv

[spiral bone]

Ya

[opaque jay]

Okay, so that's the issue.

[spiral bone]

Both in a folder Named چت بات

[opaque jay]

Venvs should be project specific. Each project should get its own folder and 2 venvs with the same name should not be created in the same spot.

[spiral bone]

Oh..

So I have to delete the folder then create a new one?

[opaque jay]

I would do this:

• Create a new folder for your project
• Create a venv in that folder and move your code over
• Activate the venv in that folder and install the modules you need there

If you want more projects int he future, they get their own separate folders with their own separate venvs

[spiral bone]

I have to install python in new folder?

Thanks, buddy, you saved me from a several hour long nightmare ❤️‍🩹

[opaque jay]

Not necessarily, just create a new venv and that should hopefully be fine

[spiral bone]

Ok tnx

Have a great night, bye
