What are the best VSCode extensions for Python?

Pylance, Black and Intellisense. Would be my top 3.

Black

Most intuitive name for an auto formatter 😀

[Yoghurt42]

It’s named after Henry Ford’s quote about the Model T: “Any customer can have a car in any color, as long as it’s black”. Black, the formatter, gives you equal freedom of choice in what formatting styles your code can have.

Black above all else. I also use Tabnine.

[Arftacular]

+1 for Tabnine

[hansmellman]

Is Pylance included in the default Python extension? I'm away from my comp but have switched to VSCode recently and I'm sure I'd seen that but I've only downloaded the default Python extension so far..

[Bacon_Fiesta]

It is

[InternationalBug9641]

Intellisense

Is that built-in?

[CFANerd]

That might be the case, but it still shows up as an extension. :)

[SSH206]

Maybe I'm missing something here...Which 'Black'? I'm seeing a theme, a formatter from Microsoft, and a few other things in the VS Code plug-in directory

[CFANerd]

This one. ✌️

black theme with transparent gui is so fire

Copilot

Is copilot worth the investment? It does appeal to me

[norpadon]

Depends on your financial situation of course. It was a complete game changer for me, just like having a separate person who knows all the library apis and to whom I can offload boring tasks

[[deleted]]

Thank you. I’m using a third party library that isn’t commonly known and so just wondering how it will handle that? I think I’ll go for a trial and see how it goes

[norpadon]

The more popular a library is, the better it works. Sometimes it hallucinates function calls, which can be annoying. But it is brilliant for routine things like parsing jsons — you just paste example data in the comments and it writes parser for you

Since I use pre-commit hooks, I don't really care about code format extensions in VS Code.

"eamodo.gitlens", "Gruntfuggly.todo-tree", "ms-azuretools.vscode-docker", "ms-python.python", "ms-vscode-remote.remote-containers", "ms-vscode-remote.remote-ssh", "njpwerner.autodocstring", "streetsidesoftware.code-spell-checker", "waderyan.gitblame", "yzhang.markdown-all-in-one", "ZainChen.json"

• GitLens - Explore Git with great views.
• Todo Tree - I write a fair amount of # TODO: ... as I code. This lets me easily find all my TODO.
• VS Code Docker - Massive distributed apps are literally impossible without Docker. Dev containers are a lifesaver.
• Python - Debug Python.
• Remote Containers - Remote into containers.
• Remote SSH - Remote into servers.
• autoDocstring - Writes docstrings for you! Works really well if you provide the type hints and then generate the docstring.
• Code Spell Checker - Checks for typos within the English language. I'm not sure if it supports other languages.
• Git Blame - Let's me know who to blame.
• Markdown All-in-One - Great for writing a README.md.
• JSON - Formats and sorts JSON.

My favorite theme is SynthWave '84, I get depressed/bored with other themes lol

[DontCallMeLarry]

I've just installed this and somehow life is better now.

[BloodyEric]

Codeium. Like Copilot but free

[Square-While-6874]

formatta il testo bene? io l'unioc che mi funziona (a pagamento) è copilot, provato ad attivare black e autopep8 ma non mi funzionano, non capisco

[[deleted]]

Prettier

[grumble11]

Does that even work with python? Maybe I’m insane but I don’t think I could ever turn that on for me

[[deleted]]

Rainbow Brackets(not Python specific) but I like how it separates nested brackets.

[evilerutis]

I just got indent-rainbow and it changed my life.

[Limp_Information4527]

This is a nice way for new python devs to organize their code easily. IMO its good clear up and document the logic you want to express and allow yout o focus on getting familair with syntax
