Error while running code on VSC

[maiya]

I have installed python3, however while running below code snippet in the VS Code terminal getting an error as system could not find the path.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34

import sys from PyQt5.QtGui import * from PyQt5.QtWidgets import * from PyQt5.QtCore import *   def window():     app = QApplication(sys.argv)     w = QWidget()     b = QPushButton(w)     b.setText('show message!')     w.setWindowTitle('PyQt dialog demo')     b.move(250, 250)     b.clicked.connect(showdialog)     w.show()     sys.exit(app.exec())   def showdialog():     msg = QMessageBox()     msg.setIcon(QMessageBox.Information)     msg.setText('This is a message box')     msg.setInformativeText('This is additional information ')     msg.setWindowTitle('messagebox demo')     msg.setDetailedText('the details are as follows')     msg.setStandardButtons(QMessageBox.Open | QMessageBox.Apply)     msg.buttonClicked.connect(msgbtn)       retval = msg.exec_()     print('value of pressed message box button is: ', retval)   def msgbtn(i):     print('button pressed is: ', i.text())   if __name__ == '__main__':     window()

This is the error am getting

Error:
PS C:\Users\maiya\Desktop\test> python3 buttonapp.py

python.exe is installed in the

C:\Program Files\Python310

also set the system variable path as well.

C:\Program Files\Python310\Scripts\

any support on this would be really appreciated. Thanks a lot.

It's not python3 on Windows just python
Test that work from command line.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

G:\div_code λ python -V Python 3.10.5   G:\div_code λ python -c "import sys; print(sys.executable)" C:\python310\python.exe   G:\div_code λ pip -V pip 22.0.4 from C:\Python310\lib\site-packages\pip (python 3.10)

Then in VS Code down in right corner see that same Python interpreter is chosen.

Hi snippsat,

Thanks for your quick response. Every thing else is correct, however

1	python -c "import sys; print(sys.executable)"

output for the above import print is as below, not expected result.

Output:
C:\Users\maiya>python3 -c "import sys; print(sys.executable)"
The system cannot find the file C:\Users\maiyapr\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\python3.exe.

C:\Users\maiya>

Even in VS Code is selected python interpreter from the C:\python310\python.exe location only.
