Kivy module not found in vscode (Mac)

Question

I have installed Kivy and when I used the IDLE app that came with Python I can import it and it runs perfectly. However, when I try to import it in vscode I get the error: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'kivy'. I can not find out what to do and the environment from the kivy dmg does not open so I feel lost. Can someone help me?

Answer 1

Two solutions

Check the python interpreter being used

When any .py file is open in the editor and is currently being used, near the bottom left, it says Python <version> <32/64>-bit . Tap it and select the directory that contains the python interpreter version that has kivy installed.

Check the following image for any help

The platform I was using was a chromebook, but the location of changing the editor is the same

Manually install within VScode

Run pip install kivy to ensure that vscode uses it
