Python path in VSCode: The system cannot find the path specified

After installing VSCode (I already have python 2.7 on my machine), I tried to run a simple script on Windows 10 and got this error:

[Running] /usr/bin/env python "c:\Users\jim\Dropbox\projects\python\myproject\main.py" The system cannot find the path specified.

So I tried to edit these settings:

And also these:

but I'm still getting this error.

I just modified "code-runner.respectShebang": false, and it's worked for me.

It looks like you're using the Code Runner extension to run your code, and it's doing /usr/bin/env python instead of just python. Go into your User Settings and add the following:

"code-runner.executorMap": {
    "python": "python",
}

Also double-check that your python script doesn't start with the shebang #!/usr/bin/env python, as that could also be causing the behaviour you're experiencing.

EDIT: Turns out there's a code-runner.respectShebang setting for the Code Runner extension that defaults to true, but can be set to false to allow you to keep the shebang in the script but not use it when running the code via Code Runner:

{
    "code-runner.respectShebang": false
}
