In downloading and setting up python I was experiencing this issue: "Can't connect to HTTPS URL because the SSL module is not available." And I followed advice from this post on SSL error. I had tried those solutions, but my issue is that Anaconda had not fully downloaded. In Downloading Anaconda I somehow deleted Python and now in my VS Code my .py files aren't recognized. I reinstalled Python but it seems that I have multiple unfinished versions of python which is why my files are still not recognized. Anyone know how to fix this issue?

    Do you have the python extension installed in VSCode? Can you try to run python in the VSCode Terminal? – Zaid Al Shattle Oct 14 '21 at 15:00
  • Here's what I got: The term 'C:/Users/y77593/AppData/Local/Programs/Python/Python39/python.exe' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again. At line:1 char:3 + & C:/Users/y77593/AppData/Local/Programs/Python/Python39/python.exe " ... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (C:/Users/y77593...on39/python.exe:String) [], CommandNotFoundException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException – Micah Oct 14 '21 at 15:04
  • How did you run this? Did you try to use "Python3", or did you manually put this path? – Zaid Al Shattle Oct 14 '21 at 15:04
  • I ran that in VS Code with the > triangular Play button – Micah Oct 14 '21 at 15:06

The solution demanded that I

  1. find all Python version of which there were a few in different places on my drive and purge them. This resource helped.
  2. Redownload Python. This helped.
  3. Update VS Code Following this Guide.
