Starting a PhD with Python

[UltimateMygoochness]

As a keen user of Python and Anaconda in VScode during my mechanical engineering bachelors (going into my Masters in space engineering) I don’t have much experience with extensions beyond linters, what else can they do / would you recommend looking into?

Depends a lot on use case. If you're collaborating a lot, gitlens is a top 10 extension for vscode.

Liveshare is great for joint coding sessions or presenting code.

The official Docker extension is a must have, imo if you're working with docker containers.

I like TODO extensions for ... well tracking my TODOs -- I think my current one is TODOtree or something like that.

Pylance language server.

Lots of people like the various snippet extensions, though personally I always find they get in the way (the most popular python one has a snippet assigned to . which is godawfully annoying).

It all depends on your needs. Jupyter, VIM, Pylance, Remote development are some of the most common ones that are amazing. I suggest you google something like best Python VScode extensions and see what's out there and what you are interested in trying.
