No I want python as my default terminal this suggestion gives a common answer but not for python. If I can set python as my default terminal, please give that explanation in detail. Because I am a new learner of programming languagesKumara– Kumara2021-12-01 17:20:05 +00:00Commented Dec 1, 2021 at 17:20

Press Ctrl+Shift+P to bring up the command palette and run the Terminal: Select Default Profile command:
If Python does not appear here, add a profile for it manually in your JSON configuration. Press Ctrl+Shift+P and run the Preferences: Open User Settings (JSON) command:
Add the following lines in your JSON config file and save it:
"terminal.integrated.profiles.windows": {
"Python": {
"path": "python",
"args": []
}
},
Afterwards you should be able to select Python as your default terminal profile.

Sorry, I tried this method but that didn't show the method I am asking.

Do you mean it does not display Python as an option? Do you have Python installed?
Kumara
Yes it doesn't display python as an option but I have installed python.

Press Ctrl+Shift+P to bring up the command palette, the keyword is "Python: Select Interpreter".
You can see a list of Python Virtual Environments to choose from.
After you have chosen one, the selected Python Interpreter will take effect immediately.
