To change the Python version & Interpreter for VSCODE

The version needs to be downgraded due to dependencies issues in using certain libraries on Python.

 

1. Anaconda env activation and checking current ver.

> conda activate (env_name)
EnvironmentNameNotFound: Could not find conda environment: (env_name)
You can list all discoverable environments with `conda info --envs`.

> conda env list 
# conda environments:
#
base                     C:\anaconda3

> python --version
Python 3.8.10

 

2. Conda Update

> conda update --all

 

3. Check the version of Python supported by Conda

> conda search python
