In VScode, the result given from "python --version" on terminal is different than the version that I am in according to the command prompt. The terminal says that I'm in 2.7.16 when I should be in 3.11.2 according to the command prompt.

I tried to do "python3 --version" but that gave me version 3.7.7. I'm confused as to why they are different. I have a macbook.

I also tried:

python -c 'import sys; print(".".join(map(str, sys.version_info[:3])))'

  • This isn't so much a Python question as just how your PATH and shell are setup. Clearly you have multiple Python installations (quite common and not itself a problem) and different ones are being referenced in different contexts. So what's your question? Commented May 19, 2023 at 6:32

If you would prefer to select a specific environment, use the Python: Select Interpreter command from the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P).

enter image description here

The Python: Select Interpreter command displays a list of available global environments, conda environments, and virtual environments.

Read document about python environment for more details.
