Repository files navigation

AVisual Studio Codeextension with rich support for thePython language (for allactively supported versions of the language: >=3.7), including features such as IntelliSense (Pylance), linting, debugging, code navigation, code formatting, refactoring, variable explorer, test explorer, and more!

The Python extension does offersome support when running onvscode.dev (which includesgithub.dev). This includes partial IntelliSense for open files in the editor.

The Python extension will automatically install thePylance,Jupyter andisort extensions to give you the best experience when working with Python files and Jupyter notebooks. However, Pylance is an optional dependency, meaning the Python extension will remain fully functional if it fails to be installed. You can alsouninstall it at the expense of some features if you’re using a different language server.
