De-select all your code and just open a file, and press the "Play" icon to run the entire file.ĭo note that if you select only a portion of the code and run it, this portion cannot depend on variables or functions defined elsewhere in the code.Īn extension called "indent-rainbow" will color every indentation level in Python in a slightly different color, so you can very easily tell which parts of your code are at which indentation level.
Select a portion of your code and run it, for example if you want to double-check what it does. This is great because it allows you to either: It gives VSCode a "Play" icon at the top right, and when you click it, the selected code will run. Here's a link to the Python extension: The Code Runner extensionĪnother extension, aptly called "Code Runner", allows you to run your code more easily than normal. Note that if you only have one version, you'll only be able to select that. This will let you select a different version from those you have already installed. You can change which version of Python the extension uses by clicking on the bottom left, where in the screenshot it says "Python 3.7.4 32-bit". The Python extension will use appropriate syntax highlighting and also help you code by offering you suggestions and hints. Once that's installed, you can open any folder using Visual Studio Code and create a file that ends in. There, look for the Python extension and install it Open Visual Studio Code and navigate to the Extensions panel on the left hand side. 
And on Windows, make sure to tick the "Add Python to PATH" in the first screen of the official installer.ĭownload Visual Studio Code and install it like you would any other application. When you install Python (which I recommend you do via the official installer), remember in which folder it was installed.
I'll also show you a few extensions that can make your life much easier while working with Python! Initial setup
