vscode's Python extension does not load the right python interpreter from pyenv

[vict0rsch]

Environment data

• VS Code version: 1.37.1
• Extension version (available under the Extensions sidebar): 2019.8.30787
• OS and version: macOS 10.13.2 (17C88) (High Sierra)
• Python version (& distribution if applicable, e.g. Anaconda): pyenv 3.7.4
• Type of virtual environment used (N/A | venv | virtualenv | conda | ...): None
• python.jediEnabled: false

Expected behaviour

The default python interpreter is ~/.pyenv/shims/python

When I run which python in my terminal I do get ~/.pyenv/shims/python. python --version does return the expected 3.7.4

Actual behaviour

The interpreter suggests that ~/.pyenv/shims/python is actually 3.6.4. Maybe this also causes a mismatch and this pyenv crash I get

Logs

None

Output from Console under the Developer Tools panel, on selecting the interpreter

@vict0rsch, thanks for letting us know about this. I have some questions:

1. how did you install pyenv (homebrew, installer, git clone, etc.)?
2. do you have any pyenv-related environment variables set (like PYENV_VERSION, PYENV_ROOT)?
3. what does running pyenv versions tell you?
4. do you have a .python-version file in your workspace folder? in your home directory?
5. do you have pyenv init in your shell startup script (e.g. ~/.bashrc)?
6. do you have multiple copies of pyenv installed?
7. are you using any pyenv plugins?

Thanks!

Hi,

1. homebrew
2. I have one: PYENV_SHELL=zsh

3. ❯ pyenv versions
     system
     2.7.14
     3.4.3
     3.5.4
     3.6.4
     3.6.6
   * 3.7.4 (set by /Users/victor/.pyenv/version)
   

4. No I do not, neither in my home or working directory
5. I have eval "$(pyenv init -)" in my .zshrc
6. I only have 1
7. No, ~/.pyenv/plugins is empty

@vict0rsch, thanks for the info. We'll work on figuring out what's going on.

Also, when you click on the Python version on the left side of the status bar you should get the list of recognized interpreters. Do all of the ones listed by pyenv versions show up in that list? (A screenshot of that list would be helpful.) From your original message it sounds like you have selected the "3.7.4" entry (but are getting a "3.6.4" interpreter).

hmmm for some reason now it shows up. I have not updated anything. Maybe some cache entry got changed?

So now I still have the issue of the terminal quitting instantly as it is opened:

Error says:

❯ source /Users/victor/.pyenv/shims/activate.sh
pyenv: activate.sh: command not found

The `activate.sh' command exists in these Python versions:
  2.7.14

But I don't understand what, in vscode's python extension, triggers this source: python works fine from the terminal, the interpreter too (I can format with black for instance) but somehow opening a terminal does not.

How are you launching the terminal?

Also, from the screenshot (in the status bar) it looks like you have a system Python activated (selected), rather than a "pyenv" Python. Make sure the interpreter in the status bar has "(pyenv)" in it.

As to the command, "source activate.sh" is used when you have a virtual environment (e.g. venv, virtualenv) is active. For pyenv we do "pyenv shell". Your active Python environment appears to be neither, so it isn't clear what is going on.

Because we have not heard back with the information we requested, we are closing this issue for now. If you are able to provide the info later on then we will be happy to re-open this issue to pick up where we left off.
