What are your configurations for the environment?
Have you created a virtual environment with python -m venv and installed your dependencies there? If not, i suggest that you do this, or if you’re using some sort of project management tool (poetry, pdm, etc) that should run out of the box.
If you already have created the virtual environment, make sure that it’s activated on the shell console that’s open on visual studio code.
This documentation may help as well.

Additionally, it makes a difference whether you are doing your development directly in the Windows environment, or if you’re using a docker container, or WSL, or connecting to a remote system.

im using it on WIndows directly, what are the commands i should run, to make it work?
