How do I switch from VS Code's Python Extention to the Python installed on my computer?

Question

I have had this problem before, modules I install on my computer wouldn't show up in vs code. I asked around and found the answer: I was using VS Code's Python extension; but I forget how to replicate it.

you have to switch the interpreter. And if you have the good one set, you might have to restart vs code to get the new libraries — Mahrkeenerh

the Python extension has nothing to do with the Python execution, it is language server related (intellisense and such) — rioV8
