Is Python in your PATH?

Perhaps time to consider where you want to work. If you go to Python.org and install Python from there, then install Anaconda, you will have two different installations with different environments. I'm sure it is possible to get them to point to the same place, but it is easy then to end up installing in one environment and not the other. My suggestion, for what it's worth, is to pick an environment - Anaconda or not - and stick with it for a while until you are comfortable with Python. Personally I use Anaconda for bigger items and Google Colab as a scratch pad. With Anaconda it is relatively easy to install packages that will then be available in Jupyter, Spyder, and VSCode
