Check out https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/environments VSCode uses multiple python binaries. Each one has a seperate list of installed modules and packages. By default VSCode uses a custom Anaconda binary. When you invoke the python command, you are using a system wide install of Anaconda. You need to change the binary version of python VSCode is using, to point at the system-wide install, where you installed your modules
