I also tried to change the python path under workspace settings following this answer. with C:\Users\xxxx\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\python.exe which is the python path I found in Command Prompt using where python but didn't work.
Then I tried
python -m venv .venv

It's easier than we imagine:
This image explains how to solve this problem.
- Download anaconda interpreter from this link
- After installation, open anaconda prompt (anaconda3) and execute this code
conda install ipykernel. It will install all necessary packages. - Restart vs code and change interpreter to base conda and voala!
The solution seems fairly simple! First things first though!
From looking at your post, you seem to have followed a guide into installing Pandas. Nothing is wrong about that but I must point out first based on your information that you provided to us, you seem to run Windows Powershell PS C:\Users\xxxx\hello> and the error format matches Powershell. Therefore, sudo isn't recognized because sudo is the admin command for Unix-based systems like Debian, Ubuntu, and so on which is why it's not a valid command!
But here's how to properly install: (I assume you're running Windows but if that's not the case, correct me and Ill give you the Unix version!)
1 - Windows key, search up CMD and run it as administrator this is important to avoid permissions issues!
2 - Run pip3 install pandas OR python3 -m pip3 install pandas
Seems to have worked with
pip install pandas --user
in Command Prompt.
Additional note:
For IPython.display,
pip install IPython--user
in Command Prompt, then
from IPython.display import display
in VS Code.

I have just run VSCode as administrator!
