body: <p>In Windows 10, How Visual Studio Code should be configured to find the Python 3 interpreter?</p>
  <p>Visual Studio Code is not able to find the Python 3 interpreter.</p>
  <p>I have added the Python extension, the Python extension at <a href="https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=donjayamanne.python" rel="noreferrer"> https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=donjayamanne.python</a>.</p>
  <p>How <code>settings.js</code> should be changed to use Python?</p>
  <p>Even if <code>python.pythonPath</code> in <code>settings.js</code> is changed to be led to <code>python.exe</code>, which is at &quot;C:\Users&lt;User&gt;\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\p‌ython.exe&quot;,  if I select <code>Python: Select Workspace Interpreter</code> in the command palette, I get the message <code>Please open a workspace to select the Python Interpreter</code>. Why is this happening?</p>
