The Visual Studio Code development environment displays in the lower-left part of the window what Python programming language interpreter it will use, see the screenshot:

If 10 seconds after the start (not right away, as the VSCode environment is somewhat “thoughtful” at the beginning and doesn’t render this field immediately), something other than “Python-3.7 *” is displayed in the specified location, we need to tell the development environment which Python we need.

For this:

  • Type the Ctrl+Shift+P combination and start typing the word Python in the window that opens. Click on the line “Python: Select interpreter”

  • Wait a bit and choose from the suggested options the one that contains the words
    - “algoritmika” and “conda” for Linux and Mac.
    - On Windows, choose the only available Python 3.7.

  • The Visual Studio Code development environment is ready to use. We recommend you to restart the program to make sure that the installation was successful.
