commands with python3 works for macOS/Linux. Use python for windows OS.
I ran into the same problem while creating a virtual environment for my project. Following instructions are quoted from https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/tutorial-django
macOS/Linux
sudo apt-get install python3-venv # If needed
python3 -m venv env
Windows
python -m venv env

Assuming you installed the Python launcher when you installed Python, even without python3
in your PATH
, you should be able to launch Python with py -2
(to use the most recent installed Python 2 version) or py -3
(to use the most recent installed Python 3 version), thanks to PEP 397: Python launcher for Windows.
