Expected behaviour
In general, I've not seen IntelliSence pick up anything from my code. It's all standard library suggestions, and I cannot select the interpreter. Every time I do, I get an error (see below). I can't figure out what to do.
Actual behaviour
Command 'Python: Select Interpreter' resulted in an error (spawn EPERM)
Steps to reproduce:
- Open command pallet
- Select and Python option, like
Python: Select Interpreter - An error pops up
