visual studio code, pressing run does not work on mac. Let say I want to print the word "Hello" and run the code print("Hello"), it will not be executed. I tried reinstalling python and visual studio but I could't resolve the problem.

Answer 1

I ran into the same issue. Figured out that I forgot to select the Add Python 3.8 to PATH while installing. You can either choose to uninstall and reinstall Python and make sure to select the above option OR you can manually update the user environment variable for PATH and add the path to scripts and python like the following.

C:\Users\<addyourusernamehere>\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38-32\Scripts\
C:\Users\<addyourusernamehere>\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38-32\
