Python and VS code

Question

I am trying to run code in VSCode but every time getting an error that I could not resolve.

Here is the error:

python : The term 'python' 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 !!

Could you help me to resolve this?

I Added Python path (ex C:/Users/pv/AppData/Local/Programs/Python/Python38/python.exe) to the %PATH% env variable even reinstalled the python and vscode. both are not working for me

As already stated in the comments, you're supposed to add the path to a directory containing binaries to the environment PATH- not the path to the binary itself. Ex C:/Users/pv/AppData/Local/Programs/Python/Python38.
