Why Is My Visual Studio Code Using Python 2.7 Instead of Python 3?

Troubleshooting Python Version Discrepancy in Visual Studio Code

In Visual Studio Code, despite configuring the settings and task to use Python3, the output persistently defaults to "python2.7." Investigating your settings, it appears correct that the "Python: Python Path" is set to "python3" in both global and workspace settings, and the "tasks.json" is also configured appropriately.

However, to resolve the version discrepancy, navigate to the "View" menu and select "Command Palette..." (or press F1). In the Command Palette, type "Python: Select Interpreter" and choose the desired Python version to use by default.

Note that you can disregard the "Recommended" hint, which may refer to the bare system installation that may not include your custom packages. By selecting the correct interpreter, Visual Studio Code will associate the output with the specified Python version. This should fix your issue and ensure that the output matches the preferences you have set in your configuration.
