I had the same problem when I would get a “Formatter autopep8 is not installed” error even though autopep8 was installed. The solution in my case was as simple as changing autopep8 path "python.formatting.autopep8Path": "/home/username/.local/bin/autopep8"

Does running /home/yolen/scicomp/anaconda3/bin/python and then import pip succeed?
