Python 3.14 installed via uv python install but not detected as valid interpreter in VS Code

[mrbartuss]

I successfully installed Python 3.14 using uv python install. Scripts run fine with uv run example.py or directly via python3.14 example.py.

However, it's not detected in the global environment. When I click to install a new one, it says "Python 3.14.3 is already installed".

When I try to select it as a Python interpreter i get 'Selected file is not a valid Python interpreter'

What am I missing? And how to fix that?

Hi! Could you try two things:

Show us the logs: Open the Output panel (View → Output), select "Python Environments" from the dropdown, then try selecting the Python 3.14 executable again. Copy/paste the log output here.

Add the uv Python directory to search paths: Open Settings (JSON) and add:

"python-envs.globalSearchPaths": ["~/.local/share/uv/python"]

Then reload VS Code and check if Python 3.14 appears in the Global environments list.
