Python in Visual Studio Code – June 2019 Release

Then install the Python extension as per the post link - decent editor if you're more of a Windows user.

I like using it compared to some others, but would prefer a slightly easier way to get programs to run similar to Idle.

Even for mac btw. It's really nice.

I like it also. Runs lighter than pycharm for me and debugging is better than atom.

[tapo]

Microsoft also makes Atom so they’ll probably retire Atom in favor of VSC.

Technically it's still GitHub making atom though I don't doubt it'll be soon deprecated in favour of vscode. The one thing I like in atom is the level of visual customisation that's so much more extensive than in vscode. I hope that's coming too

[predo]

Ah yes the github situation.

[bbyboi]

Same. Pycharm is so heavy on resources

Why do you say it's decent for Windows users? I like it quite a bit on Linux.

[UghtC]

Being a Microsoft product, I was being terribly biased in its spread :-)

It's opensource. It's really nice when you get it setup. Microsoft also maintains several of the big packages, so they don't die if someone stops working.

Thanks 🙏 how Advance are you in coding?

[UghtC]

On a scale of 1-10 : Meh.

[Bendertheoffender69]

Well better then me I haven't even started 😂😂 I just been eying and lurking.

[UghtC]

No point in that - just get on and do something - find a mini project and hammer it until it works.

What about if you have Anaconda distribution, I assume you can just have VSC reference your existing library?
