Visual Studio 2019 Launch: Python development with Visual Studio

Visual Studio 2019 comes with a number of updates for Python developers. See how Visual Studio 2019 makes working with Python fun.

This is great. I hope to see more Python coding in Visual Studio videos.

We want the latest version of Python(>=3.8) to be supported by Visual Studio

Wow! I am new to python so I have no idea what this guy was talking about. I guess this video is for seasoned python developers who may want to use VS2019. A lot of capabilities in VS2019 non of the jargon he is using in this video made sense to me. I probably back to this video after do basic python development.

Why aren't there more tutorials about python and visual studio? This looks amazing.

This is really great, thank you so much! One question though - as I can understand from this presentation, you need to do the #%% for every piece of code that you'd like to see in the interactive window or use the "send to interactive" right click option, but is it possible to have it function similar to tools like Spyder? Where you can just hit F5 and run the whole script, have it calling functions from other scripts if need be and see the output in the interactive console - all with one button?

In the option 'open in powershell' how do i use "conda activate" command. It says conda is not recognized.

Hello Tyreke White,

Recently I installed the newest version of VS2019 on Windows 10,
the new ai-based intellicode for python 3.X is not working well, i.e. when I type:
from jinja2 import Environment, FileSystemLoader
It won't show the auto-complete list to let me choose the FileSystemLoader when I type space after the comma,
but the first one Environment after import will do.
Also there are the same issues for other packages with from...import statement

The bad thing is:
from xlwings import Book
bk = Book()
st = bk.sheets.active
st.cells(1, 1). # when I type the second dot in this line, it gives me wrong auto-complete list in VS2019

These two issues I listed above don't exist in VS2017 15.5.2 with db-cached intellisense 😅
Any help would be appreciate.

thanks~
Cristin

It would be great to see how to set up a debugger for python in the first place. I have a hard time finding info on it.

hi Tyreke, my visual won't show the python command line, can you help out?

I keep getting "pip is configured with locations that require TLS/SSL, however the ssl module in Python is not available." When installing any package. Really puzzled me that when I CMD to the pip seems to install is successful but it doesn't reflect on package manager in VS. Tried reinstall Python workload in VS installer but still getting the error.

I wish VS became platform independent one day...

I wonder if there is a conflict when I have both VS 2017 and 2019. I have met a problem before, when I tried to open a project that I had created in VS 2019 by using VS 2017, and VS 2017 could not do this (VS 2019 uses v142 build tool, not v141) and VS 2017 didnt have newer version build tool, there was no option to add this version of build tool to VS 2017 and that was kind of unconvenient to me (this project is C/C++). Now, I try to code Python using VS (on both 2017 and 2019 again), and something wrong also happens: IntelliSense not working or working but not properly. I also tried to reinstall both 2017 and 2019 but nothing changed. I dont really know what I should do now to this problem. Plz help me :(
