Hello everyone, in this view you will get to know how you can get user input in any program running in VS Code. I hope this will help you.⭐ Kite is a free AI. I am running linux mint, current VSCode, python 3.8.5. Running VSCode through Anaconda navigator. I have a simple file hello world that when I right click the file from the left pane and choose run python file in terminal the terminal at the bottom of the screen pops up, but outputs no code and n. As I have Python installed on my computer and also installed the Python extension by VSCode, then I had Code Runner uninstalled. But I can't run Python scripts after that. It says 'command 'code-runner.run' not found'. Python is an interpreted language, and in order to run Python code and get Python IntelliSense, you must tell VS Code which interpreter to use. From within VS Code, select a Python 3 interpreter by opening the Command Palette ( ⇧⌘P (Windows, Linux Ctrl+Shift+P ) ), start typing the Python: Select Interpreter command to search, then select.

Visual Studio Code (VS Code) is a free source-code editor made by Microsoft and is available for Windows, Linux and macOS. You can download it here: https://code.visualstudio.com/

The editor can be extended via Extensions, available through a central repository. This includes additions to the editor and language support A notable feature is the ability to create extensions that add support for new languages, themes, and debuggers, perform static code analysis, and add code linters. In this tutorial I show you my minimal Visual setup for Python Programming. I use only 5 Extensions. It's simple but allows me to be really productive.

1. Official Python Extension by Microsoft

Link: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-python.python.

A Visual Studio Code extension with rich support for the Python language (for all actively supported versions of the language: 2.7, >=3.5), including features such as IntelliSense, linting, debugging, code navigation, code formatting, Jupyter notebook support, refactoring, variable explorer, test explorer, snippets, and more!

2. Python Docstring Generator

Link: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=njpwerner.autodocstring.

Visual Studio Code extension to quickly generate docstrings for python functions.

Features:

Quickly generate a docstring snippet that can be tabbed through.
Choose between several different types of docstring formats.
Infers parameter types through pep484 type hints, default values, and var names.
Support for args, kwargs, decorators, errors, and parameter types

Usage: Write a function first, then go to the beginning of the function and type three double quotation marks (''). Then hit enter, and you get a docstring that already contains the input and return variables. You just have to fill out the missing parts. You can easily step to the next missing part by pressing Tab.

3. Python Indent

Link: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=KevinRose.vsc-python-indent.

Get correct indentation when you hit Enter. Nothing more, nothing less. But it can actually save you a lot of time when writing code.

4. Code Runner

Link: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=formulahendry.code-runner.

Run your code file or only code snippets with a short cut. Supports not only Python but multiple languages.

Features:

Usages

To run code:
- use shortcut Ctrl+Alt+N
- or press F1 and then select/type Run Code,
- or right click the Text Editor and then click Run Code in editor context menu
- or click Run Code button in editor title menu
- or click Run Code button in context menu of file explorer

To stop the running code:
- use shortcut Ctrl+Alt+M
- or press F1 and then select/type Stop Code Run
- or right click the Output Channel and then click Stop Code Run in context menu

5. Linting

Lint, or a linter, is a tool that analyzes source code to flag programming errors, bugs, stylistic errors, and suspicious constructs. It helps you to reduce errors while still writing code, and makes sure you conform to the Style Guide

A linter is not installed via the Extension library, but has to be installed to your site-packages using a package installer like pip. You can search in the Command Pallete for Select Linter, and then select the one you prefer. I recommend using either pylint or flake8, which are the most popular ones. Select the entry, and you might get a message popup that linting is not yet installed. Go ahead and click on Install, which will install the chosen linter with pip.

Now when you start writing code and make mistakes or stylistic errors, you see the orange or red hints next to the repsonsible code. You can then hover over these marks and see what exactly is wrong, and can immediately fix it.

Color Theme

Currently I'm using the Night Owl Theme. A beautiful dark theme for the night owls out there. Fine-tuned for those of us who like to code late into the night. Color choices have taken into consideration what is accessible to people with colorblindness and in low-light circumstances. Decisions were also based on meaningful contrast for reading comprehension and for optimal razzle dazzle.

I really like this theme, but I also switch from time to time to have some variety.

Conclusion

There are many more great Extensions available, like for git support and even special extensions for frameworks like Flask or Django. My setup is very minimal, but it works for me. Let me know which Extensions you are using in the comments below the video 😊.

In this post we'll look at how to develop in Python using Visual Studio Code. I'll also show you a few extensions that can make your life much easier while working with Python!

Initial setup

When you install Python (which I recommend you do via the official installer), remember in which folder it was installed. And on Windows, make sure to tick the 'Add Python to PATH' in the first screen of the official installer.

Download Visual Studio Code and install it like you would any other application.

Open Visual Studio Code and navigate to the Extensions panel on the left hand side. There, look for the Python extension and install it

Once that's installed, you can open any folder using Visual Studio Code and create a file that ends in .py. The Python extension will use appropriate syntax highlighting and also help you code by offering you suggestions and hints.

You can change which version of Python the extension uses by clicking on the bottom left, where in the screenshot it says 'Python 3.7.4 32-bit'. This will let you select a different version from those you have already installed. Note that if you only have one version, you'll only be able to select that.

The Code Runner extension

Another extension, aptly called 'Code Runner', allows you to run your code more easily than normal. It gives VSCode a 'Play' icon at the top right, and when you click it, the selected code will run.

This is great because it allows you to either:

Select a portion of your code and run it, for example if you want to double-check what it does;
De-select all your code and just open a file, and press the 'Play' icon to run the entire file.

Do note that if you select only a portion of the code and run it, this portion cannot depend on variables or functions defined elsewhere in the code.

The indent-rainbow extension

An extension called 'indent-rainbow' will color every indentation level in Python in a slightly different color, so you can very easily tell which parts of your code are at which indentation level.

This is what the extension will do:

The Rainbow Brackets extension

If you like the indent-rainbow extension, you might also like Rainbow Brackets extension, which highlights nested parentheses, square brackets, and curly braces in different colours, making it easier to keep track of nested brackets.

The vscode-icons extension

While this extension is by no means required to run Python code, I use it and like it very much as it allows me to more easily scan my open files and folders by giving them nicer icons.

You can install this in order to change the icons displayed beside files and folders in your currently open project.
