I’m encountering an issue while trying to run a Python file in Visual Studio Code (VSCode) within a Conda environment. The error message states “ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘torch'”. What’s puzzling is that VSCode’s interpreter recognizes the ‘torch’ module without any errors (the import torch statement is highlighted in green). However, when I try to run the code using the “Run Code” feature in VSCode, I encounter this error. Interestingly, running the Python file from the terminal or using the “Run Python File” option in VSCode works perfectly fine.

Here are some additional details:

• The interpreter in VSCode is correctly set to …anaconda3python.exe.
• I installed the libraries using the following commands:
  conda install pytorch torchvision torchaudio cpuonly -c pytorch
pip install torch torchvision torchaudio
• Both pip list and conda list show that the necessary libraries are installed within the Conda environment.
• When I run where python, I get the following paths:
  • C:Usersgiovaanaconda3python.exe
  • C:UsersgiovaAppDataLocalMicrosoftWindowsAppspython.exe
• Running where python3 returns C:UsersgiovaAppDataLocalMicrosoftWindowsAppspython3.exe. I’m unsure whether I should also have ‘python3’ within the Anaconda environment.

I’m seeking insights into why this discrepancy occurs and potential solutions to resolve it. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
