Visual Studio Code – can I run a shell task in VSCode that uses a specific shell for a python virtualEnv?

I’m writing some python to render stuff that I tweak and run a lot, and that runs inside a virtual env. I would like a keyboard command to run a bash script (that launches python) inside the known terminal and virtual env.

I played a bit with setting up a shell script and a custom task, but entering the virtual env is always a bit tricky.

I don’t need a debugger or anything complicated, just a way to run the python code and attach a keystroke to it.

    You can just run the python.exe/python binary in the virtualenv folder as an executable.

    So to run a specific python file with a virtual environment:
    For Windows it would be .path_to_virtualenvScriptspython.exe yourfile.py, and for Unix system it would be ./path_to_virtualenv/bin/python yourfile.py

    And instead of running a python file, you can probably pipe the input command into the python executable in the path above if you want to run a specific python command.

    So something like COMMAND | ./path_to_virtualenv/bin/python yourfile.py

    Could you please explain the difference between the way you want and the following operation:

    1. Use "Ctrl+Shift+P" and type "Python: Select Interpreter" (the same as click the interpreter in the lower right corner which is on the right side of python).

    enter image description here

    1. Use "Run Python".

    I think there is no difference because before your using a keyboard command, you still need to choose the interpreter.

    By the way, use jupyter notebook or interactive window will be a good chioce as well.
