VS Code Extensions for Python

Visual Studio Code is a streamlined code editor with support for development operations like debugging, task running, and version control. 👨‍💻

Here are few best VScode extensions for Python Developer.⚡

  1. Better Comments
    This extension is great for developers working with multiple languages, as its list of supported programming languages seems endless. We really like it for Python developers who tend to get into code binges and forget to comment code as they go along. Better Comments makes it really simple to go back and comment code; the extension supports categorization of comments as well as unique styling.

  2. Python Indent
    VSCode works with a ton of languages… but doesn’t seem to be proficient in any. This is why extensions are important—and why even the simplest extensions, such as Python Indent, are important.

  3. Python Docstring Generator
    Docstrings are core to Python development, serving as mini documentation for any module, method, class, or function. Python Docstring Generator makes it really easy to document your code in VSCode and follows all standard formats.

  4. Python Preview
    This extension is really simple but extremely handy. It brings a visual view to VSCode for Python, which makes debugging code far simpler and likely quite a bit faster. It helps you visualize your code and ensure what you’ve imagined is exactly what’s represented.

  5. Task Explorer
    Whereas Python Preview is meant for simpler codebases and those learning to code, Task Explorer turns your VSCode experience all the way up. This extension allows you to visualize just about every function and action of your codebase without ever leaving VSCode.
