Cross platform editing, debugging, linting, testing (and more) Python (2.7 to 3.6) code (including Jupyter support) using Visual Studio Code

Python

An extension with rich support for the Python language (including Python 3.6), with features including the following and more:

• Linting (Prospector, Pylint, pycodestyle/Pep8, Flake8, pylama, pydocstyle with config files and plugins)
• Intellisense (autocompletion with support for PEP-0484)
• Auto indenting
• Code formatting (autopep8, yapf, with config files)
• Code refactoring (Rename, Extract Variable, Extract Method, Sort Imports)
• Viewing references, code navigation, view signature
• Excellent debugging support (remote debugging over SSH, mutliple threads, django, flask)
• Running and debugging Unit tests (unittest, pytest, nosetests, with config files)
• Execute file or code in a python terminal
• Local help file (offline documentation)
• Snippets

Quick Start

• Install the extension
• optionally install ctags for Workspace Symbols, from here, or using brew install ctags on OSX.
• If Python is in the current path
  • You're ready to use it.
• To select a different Python Interpreter/Version (or use Virtual Environment), use the command Select Workspace Interpreter)

Feature Details

• IDE Features

• Auto indenting
• Code navigation (Go to, Find all references)
• Code definition (Peek and hover definition, View Signature)
• Rename refactoring
• Sorting Import statements (use "Python: Sort Imports" command)

• Intellisense and Autocomplete with support for PEP-0484

• Ability to include custom module paths (e.g. include paths for libraries like Google App Engine, etc.)
• Use the setting python.autoComplete.extraPaths = []
• For instance getting autocomplete/intellisense for Google App Engine, add the following to your settings file:

"python.autoComplete.extraPaths": [
    "C:/Program Files (x86)/Google/google_appengine",
    "C:/Program Files (x86)/Google/google_appengine/lib" ]

• Scientific tools (Jupyter/IPython)

• This functionality has been moved into a separate extension Jupyter

• Code formatting

• Auto formatting of code upon saving changes (default to 'Off')
• Use either yapf or autopep8 for code formatting (defaults to autopep8)

• Linting

• It can be turned off (default is to be turned on and use pylint)
• Multiple linters supported (along with support for configuration files for each linter)
• Supported linters include pylint, pep8, flake8, pydocstyle, prospector
• Paths to each of the linters can be optionally configured
• Custom plugins such as pylint plugin for Django can be easily used by modifying the settings as follows:

"python.linting.pylintArgs": ["--load-plugins", "pylint_django"]

• Debugging

• Watch window
• Evaluate Expressions
• Step through code (Step in, Step out, Continue)
• Add/remove break points
• Local variables and arguments
• Multiple Threads and Web Applications (such as Flask, Django, with template debugging)
• Expanding values (viewing children, properties, etc)
• Conditional break points
• Remote debugging (over SSH)
• Google App Engine
• Debugging in the integrated or external terminal window

• Debugging as sudo
• Unit Testing

• Support for unittests, nosetests and pytest
• Test results are displayed in the "Python" output window
• Run failed tests, individual tests
• Debugging unittests

• Snippets
• Miscellaneous

• Running a file or selected text in python terminal

• Refactoring

• Rename Refactorings
• Extract Variable Refactorings
• Extract Method Refactorings
• Sort Imports
