Python support for Visual Studio 2017 is developed and managed here.
Visit our page on VisualStudio.com for an overview and download links, and check out our Getting Started series on YouTube. Full documentation is available at docs.microsoft.com.
Feel free to file issues or ask questions on our issue tracker, and we welcome code contributions - see Contributing for information. Documentation contributions may be made at the visualstudio-docs repository.
The Python development workload is available as part of the preview version of Visual Studio 2017. This installs side-by-side with the regular install of Visual Studio 2017 and includes all features from the stable release as well as early previews of new functionality. See our blog post for more details.
Prior to Visual Studio 2017, Python support was released as a standalone extension. We are no longer actively developing these versions, but if you are unable to upgrade to Visual Studio 2017 yet, you can use these older installers to get Python support.
PTVS 2.2.6 is the latest available version for Visual Studio 2015. You can also find it in the Visual Studio 2015 installer by selecting "Custom" and looking under the "Programming Languages" category.
PTVS 2.2.2 is the last release for Visual Studio 2013 users.
PTVS 2.1 is still available from CodePlex for users on Visual Studio 2012 and 2010.
Thank you for using and supporting Python Tools for Visual Studio.
