    The cause:  Vscode is not able to find the python path or it is not yet set.

    Solution: I recommend 2 methods to fix this issue:

    1. Use (Ctrl + Shift + P) to open Command Palette. To fix the error, in Type Python, select Interpreter, open it, then select the python interpreter or enter the entire path to the python interpreter. If you’re using a virtual environment, and it is true in most cases. Find the path .venv/Script/python, or choose the python path from your local machine’s installation.

    2. Add python path in vscode

      1. See File - Preferences - Settings.
      2. Click the button “Open Settings (JSON)”. Ensure that this entry containspython.exe at the end. "python.pythonPath": "C:\\Users\\<your_user_name>\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Python\\Python38\\python.exe
