I am very new with coding and was following along with these youtube videos and quickly realized something wasn't right, so I did some trouble shooting and couldn't figure it out.
When I tried to download pipx on VS Code I get this error
Python3 : The term 'Python3' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet,
function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the
name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.
I changed my environment variables, changed app execution aliases, and still nothing
I figured I'd check to see if python was working through VS Code and I get the same error
I tried downloading python through Microsoft store to see if that would help but nope.
Not sure what to do
I was having the same issue for a while even though I added the following directory to the environment variable and system variable. C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python310\site-packages\pipx
What worked for me was adding the following directory to the environment variable and system variable. (c:\users\username.local\bin)
The directory (c:\users\username.local\bin) will be used to create the virtual environments.
I also found this when typing (python -m pipx ensurepath) which returned:
C:\Users\username\.local\bin has been been added to PATH, but you need to open a new terminal or re-login for this PATH change
to take effect.
C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python310\Scripts has been been added to PATH, but you need to open a new terminal or
re-login for this PATH change to take effect.
The (C:\Users\username.local\bin) path was the only thing I did not manually enter into my environment variable and system variable, so thought I should give that a try and it worked.

I seem to be having the opposite issue as this user in this question. I can run python successfully, but py does not work for me. Overall, this is not a big deal but when I try to run code in VS Code, I get the error below:
py: The term 'py' is not recognized as a name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or executable program.
How can I either make VScode run python or change my system to accept py?
When I first downloaded Python, it was not placed into the path but I was able to fix that. I also confirmed that VS Code has selected the correct interpreter for Python in the same place.
EDIT: IMAGES
Path directory
Path used in enviroment
When you write "python" on CMD or Powershell, it checks the given keyword("python" here) in all the directories in Environment Variables.
In the case of python, the directory mentioned for python in Environment Variables > Path, you will find "python.exe" and not "py.exe".
So your cmd or PowerShell recognizes python and not py.
I have tried to print simple messages like "Hello World!" but have always been met with: [Running] python -u "/Users/user/HelloWorld!!/app.py"
/bin/sh: python: command not found
[Done] exited with code=127 in 0.176 seconds

Is there any way to get passed this error?
Check environment variable PATH
Every time you as a user run a command on your console, the machine looks for its location, or address, inside a list of predefined directories that are stored inside the environment variable PATH.
Such design helps to properly run the program or command without having to specify the absolute path on the terminal.
The environment variable PATH can be modified temporarily for the current terminal session, or permanently.
For windows/mac/linux
AND
Go to the VS Code preferences, and under interpreter, you'll find Interpreter Path, so set that to the path of your python installation, restart VS Code, and you should be good.
I've been looking at all sorts of sources and I cannot make it happen that a virtual environment is created. I have serious problems with the Terminal. Whereas in the other sources by just typing the commands as instructed like \env\Scripts\activate.bat works perfectly, for me I just get an error saying it is not recognized as a name of a cmdlet nor a function nor a script file nor an executable program, see screenshot. It's a nightmare. I also e.g. changed the settings.json as in some suggested methods, but no luck.
enter image description here
In the virtual environment Scripts folder there are 2 activate scripts: activate.bat and activate.ps1.
.bat files aren't recognized in the terminal.
Try running just env\Scripts\activate.
The google app engine cli commands cannot be found in the python sdk. I've already checked the google_appengine file. The shell commands are there, and I already added the app engine file path to the PATH variable. I echo the PATH variable and the directory to the app_engine file shows up, but still shows not found when I try to use a command that's inside the file. If I reference the command directly by using its whole path, the command works, but otherwise it won't. Is there anything else that needs to be done to reference a command in shell?
More error info please,
If I reference the command directly by using its whole path, the command works
I think your python path maybe wrong, Python 2.6 is not supported.
so are you have mulit-version python?
Thank you for your contributions everyone. It turns out the path I was using was wrong. Instead of /home/Programs/Apps/google_appengine it should have been /home/Programs/google_appengine. I guess the shell doesn't check to see if the path you add to the PATH variable actually exists. Who knew? Not me
Until I run into another problem stack overflow--which may be soon
See ya
everyone.
I had a basic question want to consult, about the environment variable setting.
After closed my one existed terminal which could execute compile(make) and do customed(mksdboot) command, i can't do mksdboot command anymore(I had execute a predefined setting environment variable shell script i.e. $ . ./arndale_envsetup.sh again) in the new terminal.
Cause i am a beginner in Linux, i am not very clearly about the environment variable setting rules.
i had tried to 'su' or 'sudo' to execute mksdboot, but no luck:(
ps. I had another project needs to compile in my PC(i didn't export PATH to .bashrc, only execute export PATH when i open a new terminal every time), may it efforts the original project's environment variable?
thanks.
[UPDATED]
i tried using $source ./arndale_envsetup.sh, relative commands worked finally.
but i still did't figure out the reason between work or not work. >"<
The command
history
will list what your previous commands where.
This might give you a pointer what set the path in the way you needed it.
You could also try to see where you command is via
locate mksdboot
