Unreal engine 5 tutorial on running python inside visual studio code to streamline game pipelines.

This is a getting started with Python and Unreal engine 5 tutorial where I walk through the config needed to setup VS Code (Visual Studio Code) extension that will allow you to run python scripts from VS Code to Unreal Engine 5.

Hi, thanks for making this video and featuring the extension! :)
At 03:37 the output is currently being re-routed to VS Code's Output channel (at the bottom), but I'll look into making sure the output is still printed to the Output Log in Unreal as well.

Thank you so much! So much of my time was wasted finding the solution LOL.

Hi Dirk,
Thanks for this awesome video and the extension in VS.

Could you do another video or quick explanation on how to run python scripts without making it block the UE editor, so using ticks or multi processing/threading to update the UI or just run the script as a separate task?
Cheers!

Is there an option to add Unreal Python: execute directly when I hit the debug option in VS Code? Otherwise it always starts in an arbitrary python environment complaining with the import unreal statement

6:47 Is there any reason to use "print" vs "unreal.log" on line 8 and 9 or are they basically the same?

HiHi, I have a problem. When I type "import unreal", a yellow wavy line appears below "unreal". What usually causes this😮

Hi Dirk, Many thanks for the video. I am getting a ‘no module found error’ when trying to run ‘import unreal’ in vscode? Can you please recommend a solution here?

i'm having some issues with the install wondering if you could help :) firstly i can't seem to figure out why my intellisense sense to not recognize the unreal keyword. Also vs code keeps asking me to enable developer mode in unreal while it is..and lastly the debug command won't run due to vscode saying debug.py cannot be installed and have to be manually installed in the engine sys. path..any help would be greatly appreciated thank you!
