I use Windows 10 22H2 but the process should be similar on other Windows versions or OSes. I suppose Python 3 is working.
Quick Commands
1 - In a console
- mkdir "My Project"
- cd '.\My Project\'
Type "cd My" then strike TAB - py -m venv .\PrjVEnv
This may take few seconds
This creates, among other things, a subdirectory named PrjEnv - ls
Just to check that the PrjEnv subdirectory has been created - code .
Don't forget the dot
This launches VSCode "in" the current directory
2 - In VSCODE
- CTRL + SHIFT + P
- Python: Select Interpreter
If needed start to type "Python" then the different options should be listed.
- Python 3.10.7 ('PrjVEnv':venv)./PrjVEnv/Scripts/python.exe
Or you run another Python version pick the one listed with the "('PrjVEnv':venv)"
This is the interpreter running within the context of the Python Virtual Environment
- CTRL + SHIFT + ù
To open a new Terminal within VSCode
- python -m pip install numpy
This installs the lib needed by the project
Done!
Just to make sure...
- Enter some code
import numpy as np
def MyFunction():
A = np.array([0, 1, 2, 3])
print(A.shape, A.size)
if __name__ == '__main__':
MyFunction()- CTRL+S
Save the code - Set a breakpoint
- F5
Select "Debug the currently active Python file"
- F10
To step over the breakpoint when you reach it - Inspect the variables etc.
- F5
To let the code ends
- If additional libs are needed, as before, add them from the VSCODE console
- python -m pip install scipy
For example
Voilà, I hope this helps.
