Unable to access Python 3 environments in /anaconda2

[juliussimonelli]

Issue Type: Bug

When I try to select a Python interpreter, only the Python 2 environments are appearing. I created a python 3 environment in anaconda but it is not showing up as a Python interpreter in VSCode.

When I look at my conda environments, I see:

$ conda env list
# conda environments:
#
base                     /anaconda2
python3               *  /anaconda2/envs/python3
sk                       /anaconda2/envs/sk

But when I try to select an interpreter only base, sk, and other (non conda) interpreters appear. I went into my settings.json and added:

{
    "python.pythonPath": "/anaconda2/envs/python3",
    "python.condaPath": "/anaconda2/envs/python3"
}

but the bottom left still says "Select Python Interpreter" and I cannot run the code. Restarting it did not help. Note that outside of VSCode I can run the python 3 environment and it works.

Here is the output of conda info --json

@juliussimonelli, thanks for letting us know about this. I'm going to take a look at this as soon as I can.

[ericsnowcurrently]

The values you tried in your settings.json aren't quite right. Try using the following workspace settings:

{
    "python.pythonPath": "/anaconda2/envs/python3/bin/python",
    "python.condaPath": "/anaconda2/bin/conda"
}

[juliussimonelli]

I just updated it to your suggestion and it's still not working. Same error.

[ericsnowcurrently]

Also, is the "python3" environment one using Python 3? If so then that's probably your problem. It looks like you're using Anaconda set up for Python 2. In particular, the conda info --json output you provided shows (under "env_vars"): "PYTHONPATH": "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages:.... That will cause problems under Python 3.

[juliussimonelli]

Yes, it is using Python 3. The actual conda environment works fine though. I can activate it and run Python 3 code on it with no problem.

[juliussimonelli]

It has its own site-packages:

$ conda activate python3
(python3) juliussimonelli on ip-10-4-15-227 @ 02:19 PM: ~
$ python -m site
sys.path = [
    '/Users/juliussimonelli',
    '/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages',
    '/anaconda2/envs/python3/lib/python37.zip',
    '/anaconda2/envs/python3/lib/python3.7',
    '/anaconda2/envs/python3/lib/python3.7/lib-dynload',
    '/anaconda2/envs/python3/lib/python3.7/site-packages',
    '/anaconda2/envs/python3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/aeosa',
]

[ericsnowcurrently]

When Python resolves imports, the first match under sys.path wins. In this case, anything found in /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages will be used, which may not work under Python 3.

It sounds like that isn't a problem for you, but it might impact how we invoke the interpreter when discovering the available interpreters.

What do you see in the "Python" output panel? We should see conda being invoked in various ways when looking for interpreters. For example, here's what I see (using miniconda, with several other system Pythons installed):

> conda --version
> python3.7 -c "import sys;print(sys.executable)"
> python3.6 -c "import sys;print(sys.executable)"
> python3 -c "import sys;print(sys.executable)"
> python2 -c "import sys;print(sys.executable)"
> python -c "import sys;print(sys.executable)"
> /usr/bin/python3.7 -c "import sys;print(sys.executable)"
> ~/miniconda3/bin/conda info --json
> ~/miniconda3/bin/conda env list
> ~/miniconda3/bin/conda env list
> ~/miniconda3/bin/conda info --json

I'd like to see what is showing up for you. It may also be useful to see the "developer tools" output, from Console under the Developer Tools panel (toggle Developer Tools on under Help; turn on source maps to make any tracebacks be useful by running Enable source map support for extension debugging)

Note that (currently) when we invoke the interpreter from a particular conda environment, we run the executable directly, rather than using conda run .... However, I'm not sure that's related. If it is then it's something we're already working on fixing.

Here's the output from the Python panel:

Sorry, but I didn't fully follow the next part. I turned on developer tools and got the image below. I'm not clear where to run Enable source map support for extension debugging

Thanks, that really helps. From the "Python" output panel the key point chronologically is the line that starts with Diagnostic Code: InvalidPythonInterpreterDiagnostic, Message: . That corresponds with the traceback that you see in the developer console. The traceback implies that the "enum" module is bad, which makes me think that perhaps there is an enum module in /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages. Could you provide a directory listing for that directory?

Also, what happens when you invoke the problematic script directly? Try the following (copied from the logs you provided):
