Command 'Python: Select Interpreter' resulted in an error (command 'python.setInterpreter' not found)

I have been using VSCode for a while and so far everything was good. Yesterday I created a new django project with it's own virtual environment. However, something happened to VSCode that it cannot find any interpreters. When I click shift+command+P and type >python: select interpreter, it gives me an error. I can still run my code and it works, which is weird but it is very uncomfortable to work like that because the colors are not highlighted in the code.

I ran into this problem with my newly installed VSCode on my Win10,and I fixed it by referring to other people's blog. The solution is somewhat complicated as follows:

First find the location where Microsoft VS Code is installed, then create a test folder in the same level directory, open this folder with VSCode, create a new VSCode window and open the folder where your python files are located, then select python interpreter.
