Activating Anaconda Environment in VsCode

Question

I have Anaconda working on my system and VsCode working, but how do I get VsCode to activate a specific environment when running my python script?

Answer 1

Although approved answer is correct, I want to show a bit different approach (based on this answer).

Vscode can automatically choose correct anaconda environment if you start vscode from it. Just add to user/workspace settings:

{
    "python.pythonPath": "C://Anaconda3/envs/${env:CONDA_DEFAULT_ENV}/python"
}

It works on Windows, macOS and probably Unix. Further read on variable substitution in vscode: here.
