   Have you override the codes .to your own codes just a question. Sometimes it is ok to use older codes and alter them!!.to the point

   If you have uv installed it should be print into the logs something like this: Running: uv pip list --python /Users/eleanorboyd/vscode-python/.venv-2/bin/python.

   Can you check in your logs (for the python environment extension) and see if you see if you see it attempting a different command instead? Seems like it might not be recognizing that you have uv installed.

   I have just tested creating an empty folder, running uv venv inside, and then asking the chat to run getPythonEnvironmentInfo for .venv.

   Input:

   {
     "resourcePath": "/home/adrian/temporal/uv-test/.venv"
   }

   Output:

   Following is the information about the Python environment:
   1. Environment Type: unknown
   2. Version: 3.13.5.final.0
   
   3. Command Prefix to run Python in a terminal is: `/bin/python`
   Instead of running `Python sample.py` in the terminal, you will now run: `/bin/python sample.py`
   Similarly instead of running `Python -c "import sys;...."` in the terminal, you will now run: `/bin/python -c "import sys;...."`
   4. Below is a list of the Python packages, each in the format <name> or <name> (<version>). The version may be omitted if unknown: 
   - annotated-types (0.7.0)
   …
   - zstandard (0.25.0)

   Which is not what I reported. But something seems off nonetheless, the Python path is wrong.

   When I then ask for a package to be installed into .venv, even if I insist to target .venv, it seems to target a global installation path or something in the tool call title (it does mention .venv). The parameters do seem correct:

   {
     "packageList": [
       "scrapy"
     ],
     "resourcePath": "/home/adrian/temporal/uv-test/.venv"
   }

   Output:

   Successfully installed package: scrapy
   

   Yet:

   $ .venv/bin/python -c "import scrapy"
   Traceback (most recent call last):
     File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
   ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'scrapy'
   

   This does seem like a different issue from the one I reported originally, though. Shall I close this ticket and open a separate one?

    Hi! Can you retry this now- we added a setting alwaysUseUv which defaults to true and should help but I am not sure for this specific scenario

    With 2025.20.0, if I first create a venv with uv venv and then ask the chat to run this tool, I get:

    Error: Module 'pip' not installed.
    

    Which is, funny enough, the original issue, which I could not reproduce the last time.

    I did confirm that alwaysUseUv is in settings and is enabled.
