Have you installed xcode? In your mac terminal (using the one in vscode should work fine), run xcode-select --install and agree to the software update stuff

If you run python --version, what comes up?
hardy arch
"Failed to locate 'python', requesting installation of command line developer tools."
python3 --version works though
tardy basin
How are you running your python script in vscode? If python3 --version works, then you should be able to run python3 <your_script>.py in vscode's terminal

i'm literally just pressing "run code"
i reinstalled the python extensions as well
even if i open a .py file in vs code, it still returns error 72
interpreter is set
tardy basin
Can you try to run the python file using the terminal built into vscode? You'll need to navigate to where your file is located and then run it with python3 <your_script>.py
I'm trying to diagnose whether this is a mac or vscode issue. If we can get the python script to run using python3, we'll know that python works correctly and we just need to look at vscode.

it runs in the terminal

Okay good to know. How are you attempting to open the python file in vscode?
hardy arch
right click -> open in visual studio
tardy basin
Try this: in an open vscode window, click file -> open -> <your_script.py> instead. Does that still give an error?
hardy arch
it opens just fine, the issue is running the code
tardy basin
I mean I personally run the code in the vscode terminal using python3 <whatever_I'm_working_on>.py, I'm not as familiar with getting the run button to work. Let me look into this
Do you have an extension called "Code Runner" installed in vscode?

Do you have an extension called "Code Runner" installed in vscode?
yes
mb for late response
tardy basin
No worries! Apparently there's a couple of lines you can add to the settings file for vscode to fix this then.
Go ahead and open the settings.json file in vscode by hitting Cmd+Shift+P and add the following to the file:
"code-runner.executorMap": {
"python": "python3 -u"
}
"code-runner.runInTerminal": true
This should get the run button to use python3 instead of python
You may need to restart vscode to get the settings to propagate, I'm not sure

this one?
tardy basin
Yup that looks right. If you use Cmd+Shift+P and then select "Preferences: Open Settings (JSON)" (my bad for not including that), it should also open the correct file
Also, there should be a comma on the closing bracket:
"code-runner.executorMap": {
"python": "python3 -u"
},
"code-runner.runInTerminal": true
sorry which one is it 😭
tardy basin
The user one

where exactly do I put this code? there's a big list of settings
tardy basin
So on line 15 I can acutally see there's already a line for the python setting, you just need to update it to python3 instead.
tardy basin
Yes
hardy arch
and can i put "code-runner.runInTerminal": true anywhere in code-runner.executorMap

just tried it, and it's working 😭 tysm !!!
tardy basin
Glad to hear it! Yeah vscode can be a hassle sometimes 😅 wish you the best in the rest of your python learning!
