When using a jupyter notebook in VSCode, the Python interpreter is ignored

Question

I have a virtual environment with some installed packages and a notebook with some imports of packages that only exist in this environment.

I have done Ctrl + Shift + P > Python: Select Interpreter, and chosen my environment.

But, if I run the cell, it tells me ModuleNotFoundError, as it tries to use my global Python environment for the imports (if I install the packages globally the cell succeeds).

Therefore, the selected Interpreter is ignored, and the global environment is always used.

I also tried using my environment in: Jupyter: Select Interpreter to Start Jupyter Server, but the result did not change.

This problem does not exist in a python file, only in the jupyter notebooks.

How to fix it? Am I forced to install packages globally when using Jupyter Notebooks?

Answer 1

• For .py scripts

  Ctrl+Shift+P --> Python: Select Interpreter

  

• For Jupyter Notebook

  Click Select Kernel in the upper right corner (Or the kernel version already shown) Select Python Environments....

  

  

These are two different ways of choosing a python environment.

Answer 2

try anaconda software, in this software contain jupiter notebook but its doesn't contain any error to interpret python program and its interpreter is good working condition than VScode.
