In lesson 6, at 1:29, Mosh hits the return (enter) key and opens the .vscode folder that has a settings file. I followed as Mosh did. However, no such folder or file was created for me. Please advise.

The same thing happened to me as well.

In lesson 6 - ‘Using the integrated terminal in VS code’, after pasting the interpreter path and appending '/bin/python", extra directory .vscode was not created. VS code also does not automatically activate the virtual environment for this project

Please guide how to resolve this.

</div>

what operating system are you using?  
if you are using windows, it is not /bin/python what you need to append.  
but something with /scripts/python. or similar.

if you have the newest version of vs-code normally it already shows you the final path when you have to select the python interpreter and you dont have to append anything anymore.

once you have selected the correct interpreter, normally, the virtual environment should start.  
however, i noticed that for me, sometimes, the virtual environment did not start automatically and i always needed to type

```auto
pipenv shell

```

manually (to start the virtual environment), before i could start the server …

cheers
