[output]Hello to all,
Could you help me resolve the following issue: I'm having a project vscode where i created a folder containing a virtual environment and i added a python script that i'm trying to run, for reasons that i don't understand i can't run the script even after downloading the required packages in the project (after I activated the virtual environment). How should i structure the project to be able to run the script? Thank you for your help.
This how I structured the project (called trading):
1. virt (this the virtual environment folder)
2. __init__.py (an empty python file, which placed below the virt folder - not sure i should have put this file in there)
3. my_script.py (the script i'm trying to run, which placed below the __init__.py file, hence below the virt folder)

You most see down in left corner that it run interpreter from virtual environment.
Add this to see what interpreter that is used.

import sys 

# See that use python.exe from virtual enviroment run
print(sys.executable)

Here a screenshot from a quick test.

See that down in left corer that it point to my test_env,you can left click and choice right environment.
When i run code see that it use python.exe from environment.

How i did make environment from command line,i use cmder and start VSCode with code .


So if i do:

(test_env) G:\div_code\test_env
λ pip install pandas-datareader
Collecting pandas-datareader
.....

It will work from VSCode and command line.

(test_env) G:\div_code\test_env
λ python
