How can I debug Python 3 code in Visual Studio Code?

Question

I want to debug a project written in Python 3 in Visual Studio Code, but I can\'t seem to find any way of specifying interpreter or Python version in the launch.json file.

Answer 1

There is a setting trigger within the setting file:

For Python default (which is 2.7 for now)

"python.pythonPath": "python",

For Python 3:

"python.pythonPath": "python3",

Use the following command to check the Python version:

import sys
  print(sys.version)
