  • On Windows Python usually installs as `py`. If that fails, you can try `python3`. – btilly Jul 13 '22 at 16:51

  • When i open vscode i get this. The environment variable 'Path' seems to have some paths containing the '"' character. The existence of such a character is known to have caused the Python extension to not load. If the extension fails to load please modify your paths to remove this '"' character. – Indices Jul 14 '22 at 13:23

If you already installed python on Windows, you need to add Python command in the PATH variable.

The complete path of python.exe can be added by:

  • Right-click This PC and go to Properties
  • Click on the Advanced system settings in the menu on the left.
  • Click on the Environment Variables button o​n the bottom right.
  • In the System variables section, select the Path variable and click on Edit.

The next screen will show all the directories that are currently a part of the PATH variable. Click on New and enter Python’s install directory. Now you can use python directly from the command prompt without having to write its full path location.

Try executing the command py --version; it will output the version of Python installed on your system.
