Answer 1

workon didn't work for me also. So, I tried another way to activate my virtual environment. Press Ctrl+Shift+P then select Python: Select Interpreter. then choose your environment. If you can't find your environment from the list, you can enter the interpreter paths, for example, "C:\Users\user\venv\Scripts\python.exe"

Finally, reopen VS and voila!

check out their documentation https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/environments

Try this :- 1.) For Creating Virtualenv

py -m venv project_name

2.) For activating the Project to work on

.\project_name\scripts\activate
