Python with VSCode Tutorial : Getting Started

In this tutorial I show how to get started with VS Code and Python. I explain which extensions you need to download for comfortable Python development with Visual Studio Code.

Here is the video on how to setup Python:

Big Like, your illustration is brief and focused on the most important issues..
I have just known how to:
- install important extensions like runner
- use the terminal

When i click run the Output window says


[Running] python -u

[Done] exited with code=0 in 0.087 seconds

Im not able to see the output of my actual code

operable program or batch file."

Hi, I have a little problem. Python decorators doesn't work in vscode, bot work in vscode jupyter. Do you know how to fix it?
Example:

#Decorator are just function that take function as first
#parameter and return a function
def logging(f):
def decorator_function(*args, **kwargs):
print('executing '+f.__name__)
return f(*args, **kwargs)
return decorator_function
#Use it like this
@logging
def hello_world():
print('Hello World')

hello_world()

returns an error:
>>> def logging(f):
... def decorator_function(*args, **kwargs):
... print('executing '+f.__name__)
... return f(*args, **kwargs)
... return decorator_function
... #Use it like this
... @logging
File "<stdin>", line 7
@logging
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

[BiDrd]

I'm getting an *error* when I send "Hello..." to the output: *_"Python was not found but can be installed from the Microsoft Store:"_*

I already have python on my computer but it's not working. I have absolutely no Python or VSCode experience and am not a coder but I want to learn. Can someone please help me with this?

[ltlitetools]

after I press ctrl +alt + N, it says “No Python interpreter is selected. You need to select a Python interpreter to enable features such as IntelliSense, linting, and debugging.”

[_Baleful]

Absolutely great. Short and to the point, and so much better than typing python .\mypythonfile.py

Thanks for the help!

When I run the code with python 2.7.15 (print "Hello...") I do not get the output string displayed... Just the "running" and "done" parts...
