Setup for VS Code Python programming
Install Python for Windows
Reboot windows (so the correct environmental variables are picked up for python by VS code – we found was needed after adding / updating Python to a new version).
In VS Code, add the “Python extension for Visual Studio Code”, just named “Python”.
Ensure VS Code knows where your Python install is
Open the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P) and enter “Python: Select Interpreter”
Select the python you’ve installed (e.g. “C:\Program Files\Python312\”)
