In this video, I'll guide you through fixing the PlatformIO error: "Cannot find working Python 3.6+ Interpreter. Please install the latest Python 3 and restart VSCode". This issue often arises when PlatformIO cannot locate a suitable Python interpreter.

Solution:
The python3-venv package is used to create virtual environments in Python. Virtual environments help create isolated Python environments, each with its own set of dependencies and packages. This is especially useful for different projects that require different package versions.

Steps to Install python3-venv on a Debian-based Linux system (like Ubuntu):

Update the Package List:
Make sure your package list is up to date.

sudo apt update

Install python3-venv:
Install the package.

sudo apt install python3-venv

After following these steps, restart VSCode and PlatformIO should be able to find the Python interpreter.
