我完全对 Python 的目录、虚拟环境和文件处理感到困惑

Question

First off let me apologize in case none of this makes sense to you but I will try my best explaining my problem.

I'm new to Python and I have been constantly dealing with files and programs that don't run, confusing terminal errors and more. I've been trying to follow a tutorial which consists of accessing a remote MySql database using python but when I try to execute the program (just like the guy in the tutorial) nothing happens. This isn't the first time something like this happens as I have barely been able to use any modules because the program can't find them. I've also encountered that (inside) VSCode's terminal show's me a bunch of directories which I have no clue why they're there or if that might be the cause of all these problems: As you can see here right after running the program, the terminal opens up and by default shows multiple directories, and if I'm not wrong there should only be one?

This is what happens when I try to execute the program (nothing happens) and as I've seen in the tutorial, a lot of data should start appearing but the only thing happening is that a new line is created.

I could really use some help, this is not allowing me to make any progress and I'm starting to get frustrated because I can't even find any help online.

Thank you and sorry if my problem isn't very clear but even I don't know what the problem is.

NOTE THAT THOSE ARE NOT MY PERSONAL DETAILS IT'S FROM AN OPEN DATABASE
