Hi tonydaniel,
Welcome to MSDN forum.
Please kindly follow the guidance of Python in VS Code from the links that Viorel_ shared above, and install corresponding extensions to run the code.
Besides, please also refer to this document: Using Python environments in VS Code.
By the way, since our forum discusses about the usage of tools and editors in Visual Studio, as you know, Visual Studio Code is different from Visual
Studio and they are two different products of Microsoft, I recommend you redirect to Stack Overflow tagged with visual studio code and start
a new thread there to seek for a more professional help.
Feel free to contact us if you have any concern.
Best Regards,
Tianyu
