What is this
This is a highly opininated guide on how to setup VScode for Python Development the way I personally like it.
This doesn't mean I am correct, or someone with other preferences is incorrect, but this is what works for me.
Software Installs
Make sure the following applications are installed on your system globally. How you do this obviously varies depending on if you are using Windows, OSX or Linux.
- Python3
- Git
- Visual Studio Code
Global VSCode Setup
- Press CTRL-K then CTRL-T, and select "Dark+" as the theme.
- Press CTRL-, then make sure Auto Save is set to "On Delay".
- In the File menu, make sure Auto Save is ticked.
Extensions
See inside the .vscode directory in this directory.

Starting a New Project
At a command prompt.
$ mkdir YOUR_PROJECT
$ cd YOUR_PROJECT
$ mkdir .vscode
$ cd .vscode
# Then copy the contents of .vscode/ from this git repo to the new folder you have created.
