ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'requests' using venv in vscode

Question

I have 1 file, i get as far as line 1 import requests, nothing more yet and I receive the following error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'requests'.

1. Using Visual Studio Code, installed today with standalone Python x64 3.7.4
2. Python Extension installed in VSCODE
3. venv created within VSCODE as a subfolder of workspace withint VSCODE terminal and was recognized by VSCODE when created and I am using venv interpreter in VSCODE as indicated on bottom bar
4. ran pip install requests within terminal inside VSCODE - completed successfully
5. ran pip freeze to confirm requests==2.22.0 is registered
6. Verified pylint was installed in venv

I cannot figure out why VSCODE python interpreter will not recognize that requests is installed

Answer 1

try get python version in vscode terminal

python --version

and check python version vscode IDE used by clicking left buttom corner.

make sure these 2 versions are consistent. if not, select the version of IDE with the same version of your terminal.
