I am unable to use the Python: Select Interpreter command in VS Code because the Python Environments tool keeps failing.
When I try to select my Conda environment, VS Code shows the following errors:
Unable to handle
/Users/kyle/Kyle/Tools/Miniforge3/envs/ml-base/bin/python3.10
Source: Python Environments
and:
Python Environment Tools (PET) failed after 3 restart attempts.
Please reload the window or check the output channel for details.
To debug, run “Python Environments: Run Python Environment Tool (PET) in Terminal” from the Command Palette.
My Conda environment is named:
ml-base
The expected Python interpreter path is:
/Users/kyle/Kyle/Tools/Miniforge3/envs/ml-base/bin/python
However, the Python Environments extension appears to be trying to handle:
/Users/kyle/Kyle/Tools/Miniforge3/envs/ml-base/bin/python3.10
After this error appears, I cannot use Python: Select Interpreter normally.
Environment:
OS: macOS
Conda distribution: Miniforge
Conda environment: ml-base
Expected interpreter: /Users/kyle/Kyle/Tools/Miniforge3/envs/ml-base/bin/python
VS Code extension/source showing error: Python Environments
Steps to reproduce:
Open a Python project in VS Code.
Use a Conda environment located at:
/Users/kyle/Kyle/Tools/Miniforge3/envs/ml-base/
Run Python: Select Interpreter from the Command Palette.
The Python Environments tool fails and shows the error above.
Expected behavior:The Python extension should allow me to select the Conda environment interpreter:
/Users/kyle/Kyle/Tools/Miniforge3/envs/ml-base/bin/python
Actual behavior:VS Code shows:
Unable to handle /Users/kyle/Kyle/Tools/Miniforge3/envs/ml-base/bin/python3.10
Then PET fails after 3 restart attempts, and I cannot use Python: Select Interpreter.
Additional notes:Python and the Conda environment work normally outside this command. The issue seems specific to the Python Environments / PET tool in VS Code.
