Problem Description:
I am experiencing issues with MediaPipe not working correctly on the Jetson Nano. I have installed MediaPipe, but it doesn’t seem to function properly. Additionally, I’m having trouble changing the Python version in Visual Studio Code from Python 3.8.0 to Python 3.8.12, which is the version I have installed.

Steps Taken:

  1. Installed MediaPipe using pip.
  2. Verified the installation but only worked when i used python3.8.12 and not in python3.8.0(done in terminal)
  3. Checked the Python version in Visual Studio Code, which shows 3.8.0.

Challenges:

  • Unable to switch the Python interpreter in VS Code to the correct version (3.8.12).
  • MediaPipe may have compatibility issues with the Jetson Nano or the current Python version.

Request for Help:

  • Any guidance on how to properly set the Python version in Visual Studio Code?
  • Suggestions on troubleshooting MediaPipe on Jetson Nano.
  • Recommendations for managing Python environments to avoid version conflicts.

Looking forward to any advice or solutions!
