Python Bootstrap for VS Code (Windows)
I use MSYS2 and a zsh terminal as the default for VS Code under Windows 10.
Unfortunately, as of v2021.9.1246542782, the VS Code Python Extension does not play well with the Python version installed under MSYS2.
Rather than disabling MSYS2 Python, one can install Python for Windows as usual, and use this bootstrap repository to overcome the limitations.
The new project created by bootstrap.ps1 will be in the directory one level up from where it was invoked, and the workspace settings.json file will use PowerShell as the default terminal for the project.
Usage (in PowerShell):
git clone https://github.com/yuri-rage/vscode-python-bootstrap.git
cd vscode-python-bootstrap
.\bootstrap <new project name>
You can also right-click on bootstrap.ps1 (or a shortcut to it), and select "Run with PowerShell." If you have .ps1 files associated with PowerShell, you can double-click on bootstrap.ps1 or a shortcut to it. In either case, a prompt for a new project name will appear in the window that spawns.
