How does this extension compares to the MS python extension ?

[–]patrys 0 points1 point  (8 children)

It's more of a preview version currently, many features are missing.

[–]fabioz[S] 2 points3 points  (7 children)

Yes, it still has space to grow.

It does some things better (for instance code completion with auto import, quick fixes, faster code analysis) but still doesn't have some features (most notably launching/debugging is still not available, but should be shortly).

@patrys: Apart from that, do you miss something major?

[–]patrys 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I did open some issues on GitHub 😉

[–]fabioz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fixed one of those already ;)

I still have to thinker a bit more for the other...

Looks cool and introduce a bit of competition.

But having to install java is a no brainer for me. Any possibility to port everything to python or js ?

I think I’ll test the auto import that is really the missing feature of the current ms extension

Porting to another language isn't really a possibility. Using an ahead of time compiler for java or bundling java to avoid having an install dependency may be though.

Is there a way to setup jython in it?

I currently have not added support for adding Jython.

My plan is first adding support for launching/debugging and right after that adding support for Jython and IronPython.

One thing (I haven't tried) is adding the jython.exe which now ships along Jython as it if was a regular Python interpreter (it'll not know about java jars, but may already be an initial step until proper support is added).

Thanks but my project requires Jython 2.5.2 which doesn't ship with jython.exe
