VSCode Python version defaults to 2.7 in the integrated terminal no matter what I do

Question

I\'m running VSCode 1.36.0 on MacOS Mojave 10.14.6.

When I use the integrated terminal in VSCode and run Python it always runs Python 2.7 from /us

Answer 1

Get the shell path of your default terminal by executing echo $SHELL this should output something like /bin/bash

now check if the VSCode integrated Terminal points to the same shell and if not, set the integrated shell of VSCode to the one of your terminal.

Edit (to provide the full solution):

vsCode runs every new shell as login shell so if you set the Anaconda Path in .bashrc it will not be set in the integrated shell. If this is the case, you can set "terminal.integrated.shellArgs.osx": [] to force vsCode to run a non Login shell and load .bashrc
