Question

I am trying to run code on vscode and I have a folder, workplse, and a file inside it called please.py, i coded in vscode to make a virtual environment called venv, but when I try to activate it I am given
'venv' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. Here is my folder

The command and error code is here:

Answer 1

It should be an absolute path while not a relative path, such as:

c:/Work/python3.10/.venv/Scripts/activate.bat

And you needn't activate the virtual environment manually, through the shortcut of Ctrl+Shift+` to create a new terminal, the Python extension will activate the python environment which you have selected automatically.
