The discussion revolves around troubleshooting issues with Visual Studio Code (VS Code) not recognizing the Python executable. Users suggest checking the installation path of Python to ensure it aligns with VS Code's expectations. Reinstalling Python and the VS Code Python plugin is recommended to resolve synchronization issues. Additionally, if using a Python virtual environment, a different approach may be necessary. One user confirmed that re-downloading Python resolved their issue, indicating that reinstalling can be an effective solution.

TL;DR
In visual studio code in windows 10, when I try to select the interpreter it flashes and I can't click on it. Can someone help? For a good description look at the imgur link which contains the video. Thanks.


I tried resetting the PC and reinstalling visual studio code and that does nothing.
Any advice would be helpful.

It seems that VS Code Editor can't find your python executable. Check if it’s installed where VS Code thinks it’s installed.

You may have to reinstall python and then reinstall the VSCode python plugin to resync things.
 
I think you need to do this a different way if you are using a Python virtual environment.

I re-downloaded python and it seemed to work.
