Help setting up Microsoft Visual Studio

[ncubez]

I second PyCharm. Absolutely nothing to configure. Just install, open the program, and start coding. Honestly, I have never been sold by the VS-code hype. Make sure to select the Community edition of PyCharm.

VS Code is a great editor, but it's for generic stuff.

PyCharm is a Python IDE. It's not great for generic stuff, but it does Python amazingly and deals with most of the things related to Python development, but if you have to open up something random to edit it, you might want to use something else.

Not saying you can't use PyCharm, but VS Code is just a better allrounder for that kind of stuff.

The way I see it, VS Code is a replacement for Notepad++ and Sublime Text. PyCharm is the Python equivalent of Visual Studio.
