- Host, run, and code Python in the cloud: PythonAnywhere. Once a student has nominated you as their teacher, you can see their files and Python consoles, so you can help them more easily. You can copy files into their accounts so that you can give them a starting point for their assignments, and you can see their solutions.
- I have a python file and im going to convert it into an exe file and i want the users to be able to run this file when right clicking a file aka the context menu(its a malware scanning tool using virus total so when the user right clicks the file they want to scan i want an option in the menu called ‘scan with myfilename’, also my program.
- You can use this Python online editor to execute your Python programs. Step-1 Type your source using available text editor in this Online Python Compiler. Step-2 Click Run to get the Output from this Python Interpreter Online. Note: Before Compilation and using this Python IDE online, you must know about Python.
A Visual Studio Codeextension with rich support for the Python language (for all actively supported versions of the language: >=3.6), including features such as IntelliSense (Pylance), linting, debugging, code navigation, code formatting, refactoring, variable explorer, test explorer, and more!
Installed extensions
The Python extension will automatically install the Pylance and Jupyter 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 also uninstall it at the expense of some features if you’re using a different language server.
Extensions installed through the marketplace are subject to the Marketplace Terms of Use.
Quick start
- Step 1.Install a supported version of Python on your system (note: that the system install of Python on macOS is not supported).
- Step 2.Install the Python extension for Visual Studio Code.
- Step 3. Open or create a Python file and start coding!
Set up your environment
Select your Python interpreter by clicking on the status bar
Configure the debugger through the Debug Activity Bar
Configure tests by running the
Configure Testscommand
Python File Runner
Jupyter Notebook quick start
The Python extension and the Jupyter extension work together to give you a great Notebook experience in VS Code.
Open or create a Jupyter Notebook file (.ipynb) and start coding in our Notebook Editor!
For more information you can:
- Follow our Python tutorial with step-by-step instructions for building a simple app.
- Check out the Python documentation on the VS Code site for general information about using the extension.
- Check out the Jupyter Notebook documentation on the VS Code site for information about using Jupyter Notebooks in VS Code.
