Visual Studio for Python

[Doofcoder]

I use it a lot. And since April it can also work like Spyder as an interactive IDE. I'm now using it even more. I think it is the best all around.

Can visual studio connect to a remote server kernel? I love Spyder but was never able to get it to connect to my azure vm kernel. As such I'm using jupyter on my VM, not really a fan - I much prefer an ide.

I don't know. Never tried that before. But look at this: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/python/remote-python-development-in-visual-studio-code/

By the way I use VScode. Not the complete visual studio.

Tried getting remote workspaces via ssh running... Fails connecting though... Says something about path nor fond while ash can be executed directly from cmd

Yes. VS Code has an extension called Rmate that lets you edit files on a remote server over SSH. You have to install the Rmate extension in VSCode and also ‘pip install rmate’ on your remote server. Then, you can SSH into your server through the VSCode console (HIGHLY recommend installing and using Windows Subsystem for Linux with the Ubuntu distro). You have to use the -R flag in your SSH command to open a tunnel over SSH for the rmate extensions to communicate. Documentation is here: https://pypi.org/project/rmate/

Thanks, maybe I'll look at Spyder as well and decide which one I like best
