In Windows 10, How Visual Studio Code should be configured to find the Python 3 interpreter?
Visual Studio Code is not able to find the Python 3 interpreter.
I have added the Python extension, the Python extension at https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=donjayamanne.python.
How settings.js should be changed to use Python?
Even if python.pythonPath in settings.js is changed to be led to python.exe, which is at "C:\Users<User>\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\python.exe", if I select Python: Select Workspace Interpreter in the command palette, I get the message Please open a workspace to select the Python Interpreter. Why is this happening?

Select and activate an environment# To select a specific environment, use the Python: Select Interpreter command from the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P). Note: If the Python extension doesn't find an interpreter, it issues a warning.
Click on the Extension button on the left-hand menu bar. The Marketplace for VS Code Extensions should open up. Search for python in the search bar. Choose the Python extension provided by Microsoft and click on “Install”.
Install Python and the Python extension# Once you have a version of Python installed, activate it using the Python: Select Interpreter command. If VS Code doesn't automatically locate the interpreter you're looking for, refer to Environments - Manually specify an interpreter.
Select the Add Environment command in the Python Environments window or the Python toolbar, select the Python installation tab, indicate which interpreters to install, and select Install. You can also manually install any of the interpreters listed in the table below outside of the Visual Studio installer.
macOS

Go to File/Preferences/Settings and find Python Configuration. This is where you manually change the configurations.
You can also select your interpreter from command palette. The following instructions are from DonJayamanne's Github.

In the current directory where you open you VS Code, go to .vscode/settings.json and modify this line in the json file:
{
"python.pythonPath": "path_to_your_python_bin",
# e.g., /home/myname/venv/bin/python3.7 or to a .exe file if you are on Windows
}
