Visual Studio Code venv support

I'm using Python's venv and am unsure how to get VS Code to recognise the folder layout.

The interpreter is the system-level Python, so it doesn't see the project's Lib/, Scripts/, Include/, etc. and thus fails to find (import) the modules I've already added.

Is there a way to configure VS Code to work with venv projects and non-venv ones, or do I have to set python.pythonPath per-project?

Open a folder in the level above your venv directory. Then VS Code will discover the python.exe that lives inside /Scripts.

For example, if you created your venv in C:\MyProjects

C:\MyProjects> python -m venv MyEnv

Then in VS Code,

Open Folder... (Ctrl-K Ctrl-O)

Select C:\MyProjects

Command Palette... (Ctrl-Shift-P)
Python: Select Interpreter<Enter>

You should now see a dropdown list that includes .\MyEnv\Scripts\python.exe.
