Django App works on PyCharm by not VS-code (File manage.py line 17 error)

Question

I have a Django App that works well in PyCharm. All modules etc work. I need, however, to open the code in Visual Studio Code. However, when I execute a:

python manage.py runserver

command in visual studio code, I get the following error:

 File "manage.py", line 17
    ) from exc
         ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I've scoured the resources - but I can't find any solution. I've re-installed python Django using PIP.. - still no luck. Yes, I've reactivated the VENV - it just so happens it is stuck in activated state - but im ok with that.

Any ideas ? Thanks

yes.. but PyCharm works without specifying python3 manage.py... — , Mar 06 '22 at 21:03
so does it work in visual studio code when you run it with python3? — Helge Schneider, Mar 06 '22 at 21:09
I just tried 20 mins ago - yes.. but it didn't before. But in PyCharm terminal I don't specify python3... — , Mar 06 '22 at 21:10
You can read more about python environments in VSCode [here](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/environments). — Helge Schneider, Mar 06 '22 at 21:45

Make sure to run with python3. Your IDE does not know what python interpreter you want to use, so always activate your environment first and check your python with python --version. Then run with:

python3 manage.py runserver
