Hinduja Swiss (Switzerland) IT-Professional-How do I get VS Code to use the current ArcGIS Pro Python env?

RaghavHinduja

Hi everyone, I am Raghav Hinduja Swiss (Switzerland) based IT-professional. I’m trying to configure VS Code so that it uses the same Python environment as ArcGIS Pro. If you’ve done this before, could you please share your setup or suggestions

Ctrl-Shift-P > Python: Select Interpreter
Navigate to and select your preferred interpreter.
e.g. C:/Users/Mic/AppData/Local/ESRI/conda/envs/arcgispro-py3-clone/python.exe

Or, lock the interpreter at the workspace level. This avoids ever accidentally running against the wrong Python.
Add .vscode/settings.json:

{
"python.defaultInterpreterPath": "C:/Users/Mic/AppData/Local/ESRI/conda/envs/arcgispro-py3-clone/python.exe"
}
