Can VsCode be configured to pick up the correct python interpreter and virtual environment?

Question

Visual Studio Code

Hello everyone,

in linux command line I create a new project in e.g.

mkdir newproject && cd newproject
pipenve install --python 3.8
pipenv shell

then code .

and vscode is launched, the cat uses the old path to the python interpreter, the cat has to be updated every time!

Is it possible to make vscode automatically pull up the correct interpreter and, accordingly, the virtual environment?

all the best,
Vadim

Yes, you need to create a .vscode subfolder and write the path to the interpreter there ... in the settings.json file,
this can be automated using a bash script
$ cat settings.json
{
"python.pythonPath": "/home/vadim/.local/share /virtualenvs/lambda-cleanup-YdfgdfyT/bin/python"
}
see below...
