How to correct Python incorrectly compiled

Bryan Kelly 486

Windows 11. Visual Studio 2019 was installed a few days ago. I create a Python command line project, put a debug statement at the first line, start debugging, and this message is immediately displayed:

This version of python seems to be incorrectly compiled

(internal generated filenames are not absolute).

This may make the debugger miss breakpoints.

Related bug: [http://bugs.python.org/issue1666807]

The referenced web page has some details, but a corrective action was not detected on that page.

What can be done to correct this problem?

I am using Visual Studio Professional 2019, installed a few weeks ago from the Microsoft site. The help page shows Version 16.11.42 and a bing search turned up 16.11 as the latest version. The main dialog states I am using Python 3.11.

The first time I ran anything in the Python environment that message was displayed. It is always displayed before it starts any of my code. Lets emphasize that: The error message is displayed as soon as the command line dialog is opened to run my code. Always. Before any of my code is executed. I have tried a couple of tutorial programs and the error message is always displayed first.

So what more might I provide in reproducing the problem?

Hello, what project template are you using? Does it occur in new created Python project?

Please try to repair your VS with Visual Studio Installer.

Hi @Bryan Kelly,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

Are you using the latest version of VS2019? If no, please update it with Visual Studio Installer.

Please ensure that you are using a supported version of Python such as Python 3.9 or higher version.

You can try to reinstall Python environment.

If it persists, you can share us more reproduce steps to investigate it further.

Sincerely,

Anna
