How to run Python script in VS Code with an extension Code Runner?

Question

I installed Code Runner extension in VS Code. In my settings.json I have set "python.pythonPath": "python" option and python is in my Win10 PATH variable.

In code-runner.executorMap option in settings.json python is set by "python": "python.pythonPath". However, when I run my script with Ctrl+Alt+N I get

'python.pythonPath' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

If I set in code-runner.executorMap python option to absolute path like "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Python36-32\\python.exe" I get complaining about whitespaces

'C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Only the first word is taken, until the first whitespace occur. If I put \ to escape whitespace I get JSON error.

I found how to do it. Simple, in settings.json in "code-runner.executorMap" under python option put

"python": "python"

and now it searches python in Win10 PATH and runs by clicking run icon or ctrl-alt-N.
