Expected behaviour
I was able to run properly pypy up to a few weeks ago
Actual behaviour
now it doesnt recognize pypy path, since it says The python path in your debug configuration is invalid. It’s a docker that i debug inside.

@scepeda78 Can you try with python.useIsolation: false in your VS Code settings for container? See if that helps.
If not that means that validation is failing to run the interpreterInfo.py script from the extension. Locate the extension folder in the container, usually it is at
The output should be a JSON, with version and other info. If this works then next run this command:
[Solved] VSCode: The Python path in your debug configuration is invalid
Hello Guys, How are you all? Hope You all Are Fine. Today When I run my python code Suddenly I got VSCode: The Python path in your debug configuration is invalid in Python. So Here I am Explain to you all the possible solutions here.
Without wasting your time, Let’s start This Article to Solve This Error.
I am trying to debug a simple python program via “F5” or “Run with debugger”. Whenever I press F5 using the python extension, a pop-up appears at the bottom right “The Python path in your debug configuration is invalid.”
To Solve VSCode: The Python path in your debug configuration is invalid just Open Command Palette (Ctrl + Shift + P). Type Python: Select Interpreter, open it Select the python interpreter or enter the full path to the python interpreter.
Solution 1: add Python:Select Interpreter
Vscode is not able to find the python path or its not yet set.
Open command palette(ctrl+shift+P) and type python and look for “Python:Select Interpreter”. You will be asked to enter the path of python where it is installed.
Solution 2: add python path in vscode
Solution 3: add pythonPath
You could try something like this but directing it to wherever your python program is install on your system

Running with the isolated script seems to cause the interpreterInfo script to fail in this scenario:

I’m getting the same error in VSCode under WSL with Ubuntu 20.04. It used to work fine, but I installed Python 3.7, and now it can’t find my interpreter. I even removed Python 3.7 and am getting this error.
dmorris0 commented Jan 3, 2021
Finally fixed the problem by uninstalling VSCode and reinstalling it. Now it can find the python interpreter.

How am I going to configure this?
karthiknadig commented Jan 6, 2021 •
@scalavision Can you share your debug configuration? Normally you don’t have to set the pythonPath in the debug configuration, unless you want to run your code using a different python.
you can also use «python» to set a custom python path (default uses the selected python path): 
scalavision commented Jan 6, 2021
I had wrong path to python interpreter in the user settings. When manually setting the path to the interpreter via the gui, to be used inside the dev container, it silently failed. I found it in the Python log output eventually. A popup for this error would have been very helpful 😅
Python debugging does not start in VS Code: «The Python path in your debug configuration is invalid.»
I tried to start Python debugging in VS Code on Windows 10 via F5 and also in the GUI-debugging menu in the top right. Yet, it always shows the following error window in the bottom right stating «The Python path in your debug configuration is invalid.» :
I’m logged in a python environment related to the project called «Example«:
I activate the virtual environment (venv) like so:
The top-level directory tree of the «Example»-project looks like this:
The Python scripts I want to debug are located within some sub-directories of the folders «scripts» and «tests».
Now, the python.exe connected to the current venv is located here:
The output of which python :
In the bottom left, I’ve chosen the correct Python interpreter path.
As for global and local settings.json, which are located at C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Code\User\settings.json and C:\Users\username\Projects\Example\.vscode\settings.json respectively, they have the same content (I only kept the entries related to debugging and python):
Finally, the local launch.json located at C:\Users\username\Projects\Example\.vscode\launch.json contains the following:
I’ve already tried a lot of configurations, but yet I cannot seem to get rid of the error, even though all these paths should be correct.

@karthiknadig I updated the original comment. Is there anything else I should add?

@abioz-aiz Can you share your launch.json?

«version»: «0.2.0»,
«configurations»: [
This is my launch.json
karthiknadig commented Sep 24, 2021
@abioz-aiz You don’t have to set python there, it will always be set to selected interpreter automatically.

Can you share the logs from Output > Python panel? 
When you see that error, it means that the python path being used some here is wrong, or the python itself is failing to launch. The logs should provide some clue on what is failing here.

@abioz-aiz Some thing is wrong with the python installation on your machine and the settings seem weird. It looks like C:\Python39\python.exe python either does not exist or has no execute permissions. C:\Users\jbaks\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\python.exe has been assigned to something that should really be a directory.

What could possibly be the problem? @karthiknadig
karthiknadig commented Oct 18, 2021 •
@abioz-aiz Workspace configuration (settings.json) will be in the folder that you open with VS code, not in the location where vscode extensions are installed (i.e, it won’t be here C:\Users\jbacks\.vscode ). IF VS Code is not able to run the python provided then you see this message. From what I can tell you have wrong path set somewhere.
Easy way to find it is:
first open settings: 
Then click on workspace, and this button at the top right corner:

You can also try forcing the python to be a particular one like this and see if it helps.
You might get more help setting up your project if you ask this on stack overflow or discussions.
