title: Installing Python packages for Visual Studio Code
body: <p>I'm trying to import a package called "termcolor" that can run on VSC. I know the import is working because when I run the program from my mac terminal it executes fine. However, when I run from VSC, I get the <code>ImportError</code> "no module named termcolor".</p>
  
  <p>I know it has been installed in the my virtual environment where I am building the program:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Kaylas-iMac:Ermes Marana rahme$ source "/Users/rahme/Desktop/Programming/Python/Ermes Marana/env/bin/activate"
  (env) Kaylas-iMac:Ermes Marana rahme$ python3 -m pip install termcolor
  Requirement already satisfied: termcolor in ./env/lib/python3.7/site-packages (1.1.0) 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And I think I'm importing from the correct path. I saw in another post to use <code>sys.path.append()</code> to explicitly look for packages in the correct path, so I tried that. Here is my code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>import sys
  
  sys.path.append('users/Rahme/Desktop/Programming/Python/Ermes\ Marana/env/lib/python3.7/site-packages')
  import termcolor
  print(termcolor.colored(text = "I'm Rahme", color ="red", on_color="on_grey")) 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>sys had a warning about the space in the directory /Ermes\ Marana and suggested adding an r to the backslash which I did and nothing changed.  What am I doing wrong?</p>
  
  <p><strong>How can I install packages on VSC in the future so that I can use the built in run in terminal?</strong></p>
