The original Python extension for Visual Studio Code, providing IntelliSense, debugging, linting, formatting, refactoring, testing, and Jupyter support. It is now maintained in the Microsoft fork (microsoft/vscode-python).
Use cases
- set up python development in vs code
- get intellisense and autocomplete for python files
- debug python code in the editor
- run and lint python with pylint or autopep8
- run python tests from vs code
- work with jupyter notebooks in vs code
When to choose
- you want the canonical, actively maintained Python extension for VS Code
- you need integrated debugging, testing, and linting for Python
- you use Jupyter notebooks inside VS Code
When to avoid
- you use an editor other than VS Code
- you need a standalone linter or formatter rather than an editor extension
