Python not found

Of course, I'll put it here:

x=int(input()) y=int(input()) z=x+y print(z) 

The thing is that even a one-line project like print("hello") gives me the same error message, while before installing Code Runner that same line worked.

Hello,

Generally speaking, a tool cannot guess where an executable is located. There are two options:

• either you provide the absolute path to your python interpreter, and the tool doesn’t have to guess;
• or you provide the command name, and in this case, the tool needs to know where to look for it.

Let’s take an example. If you type the command

python

in the MS-DOS commands, the corresponding executable is found only if it is located in one of the folders listed in the environment variable

PATH

. It would be interesting to check if this point is working correctly to ensure that python is still installed and functional.

Maybe this discussion could help you. It seems that the variable

$pythonPath

contains the path to your python interpreter, but that it may not be sufficient if that path contains spaces (which is probably your case). You then need to correct the Code Runner configuration as follows:

"code-runner.executorMap": { "python": "\"$pythonPath\" -u $fullFileName", }

If that doesn't work, you might try replacing

"\"$pythonPath\"

with the absolute path of

python.exe

, which you can find via MS-DOS commands using the command

where python

. You may need to escape the spaces and \ by preceding them with a \ (e.g.

C:\\Users\\toto\\AppData\\Local\\Continuum\\anaconda3\\python.exe

).

Good luck!
