Python: Interpreter and virtual environments not recognized on remote machine

See original GitHub issue

Hi, I’m using vs code via remote-SSH on a HPC cluster. Python3 is not available per default, but loaded via module load python3. Activating virtual environments also works, with source /path/to/venv/bin/activate as usual.

I cannot get VS code to recognize both python3 and venvs in this setup. It only recognizes the default python2 binaries, /appl/python/3.6.2/bin/python3 is not accepted. I am stuck on “Select Python Interpreter”. The same also applies for virtual environments at any location, choosing any venv/bin/python does not work, same issue.

I think remote VSCode instance starts before you do module load python3, so it does not get the PATH changes. See here https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-remote-release/issues/2982. Please reply to that issue with your scenario. This is something that should be handled by the VSCode remote SSH extension.
