First you have to install python for your machine and install the Python extension in vscode. It will be helpful to follow this documentation.

Then create a new file with the file extension .py.

Showing Plain Text in your status bar means you just created a new text file and you haven't selected a language for this file.

As follows, select python, the status bar will be displayed as python interpreter.

You can add this configuration in settings.json file, which will make vscode create new files as python language by default.

    "files.defaultLanguage": "python",
