Cannot Select Python Interpreter

See original GitHub issue

Issue Type: Bug

Every time enter vscode, “Python is not installed” is remainded at the right bottom but actually Python is well-installed.
Cannot select any python interpreter. When click the"Select Python Interpreter" button, no env will be found. It doesn’t work even I added a path to my anaconda env’s interpreter.

I’ll take it the original bug is now fixed as no response was provided, closing this. Let me know if it hasn’t been fixed and we’ll be happy to reopen.

@thesalmonidae The issue you face is likely due to https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-python/issues/18930.

Can’t select Python Interpreter if directory name has symbol, for example “C:\Workspace\C++” it will fail to find the Python Interpreter, “C:\Workspace\CPP” is ok.

However my Python Interpreter directory name doesn’ t have any symbol, so it’s not the solution for my case. Anyway thanks for your reply 😃
