I’m applying the FastAPI to develop an API collection. In VS Code, I’ve added a virtual environment and a Python interpreter path. sqlalchemy
dependency was installed in the venv
, but Python was still unable to locate the package. Help is appreciated.
from sqlalchemy import create_engine
from sqlalchemy.ext.declarative import declarative_base
from sqlalchemy.orm import sessionmaker
SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URL = 'url'
engine = create_engine(SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URL)
SessionLocal = sessionmaker(autocommit = False,autoflush=False,bind= engine )
Base = declarative_base()
Error :

I followed the procedures below to troubleshoot the error:
checked the interpreter in Vs code verified interpreter in Python:
Selected the interpreter by giving full path uninstalled and installed the packages Restart the VS code
Based on you stack trace, it seems like your code is not being run from the virtual environment. If it was, I would expect to see the name of the virtual environment in
"/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.12/lib/python3.12/importlib/__init__.py"
. I would double check and make sure your virtual environment is activated before running you code. You may need to change the Python interpreter to the one created in your virtual environment.References
