Python: Cannot debug using vs code

Question

I am new to python as well as anaconda, I installed and setup everything including environment variables. then i opened up vs code and typed in

print("hello world")

and tried debugging. I did not get any output and got a couple of timeout on debugger. this is what was on terminal after i ran the debugger:

(base) C:\Users\Arun>cd e:\pythontutorials && cmd /C "set "PYTHONIOENCODING=UTF-8" && set "PYTHONUNBUFFERED=1" && E:\Python\pythonw.exe c:\Users\Arun.vscode\extensions\ms-python.python-2018.11.0\pythonFiles\experimental\ptvsd_launcher.py --default --client --host localhost --port 62293 e:\pythontutorials\firstprogram.py "

Answer 1

This probably is a path error. As I have encountered in the past VS Code doesn't allow you to run python commands from its terminal unless its paths are also set in the system variables. Do recheck these.
