VS Code Keeps Triggering pyenv Automatically #pyenv #vscode #python
Raw
vscode-pyenv-auto-activation-fix.md

microsoft/vscode-python#18875

VS Code’s Python extension auto‑activates environments in every new terminal.
If your interpreter comes from pyenv, this triggers pyenv automatically.
That’s why you see unexpected pyenv shell calls when opening terminals.
To disable this behavior, set "python.terminal.activateEnvironment": false in VS Code settings.
After that, terminals will stop auto‑activating pyenv.
