I saw the above answer and was able to choose the correct Conda env from Python: Select Interpreter on the the Cmd-Shift-P command palette. However, I installed tensorflow in the root environment and in the current config it is not available from the vscode debugger.

I need to add this line at the top of my script to makes things work in debug:

sys.path.append('/[...]/anaconda/anaconda3/lib/python3.6/site-packages')
import tensorflow as tf

how do I configure this properly within vscode?

NOTE: if I install tensorflow in my active conda env, then all works fine. but I should have to do that, right?

Yes, you have to install it in your active conda env. That's how conda works. – Sraw Feb 26 '18 at 09:03
I thought whatever was installed in the conda base/root env was global. – michael Feb 28 '18 at 07:42
Surely that's not true. – Sraw Feb 28 '18 at 07:43
