The Python development workload is available as part ofVisual Studio Community, Professional and Enterprise. To install, run thenormal VS installer and select either thePython development workload or theData science and analytical applications workload.

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.

Thank you for using and supporting Python Tools for Visual Studio.
