have different version of python installed to my Mac, when I opened vs studio code it said I am using version 2.7.16 while the terminal for my Mac said its 3.8.5. How am I going to config that?

3Python 2 is outdated. Use Python 3! – Klaus D. Jun 30 '21 at 09:18

Don't use Python 2.X - it's no longer maintained. – gvee Jun 30 '21 at 09:18

And python 2 isn't a part of MacOS OS (i.e like Ubuntu)? – CutePoison Jun 30 '21 at 09:20

@CutePoison Not sure what you mean. You should not remove Python 2 from the system. – tripleee Jun 30 '21 at 09:21

it looks like you have python2 installed in the base environment ( mostly a conda environment). you can change that in the virtual environment of the IDE by changing your project properties. – fireball.1 Jun 30 '21 at 09:23

you can specifically use python3 or python3.8 or python3.x if you have multiple python3 installed. Or you can use the full path to the python version you want to use. – nngeek Jun 30 '21 at 09:23

@Triplee That was my point - you might risk breaking stuff when removing Python2 (Ubuntu 18.04 uses it for the system for instance, thus removing it on Ubuntu fucks it up) – CutePoison Jun 30 '21 at 09:23
