Using visual studios 2017 for writing python? - Ayiden - Mar-23-2017
I just started taking a intro to programming course this semester in college, and I managed to get visual studios 2015 to work with the latest version of python. a few days ago while using visual studios I got a notification on visual studios advertising visual studios 2017 and it say that it has integrated python support. I downloaded the 2017 update but for one I can seem to get into a blank template to start writing in programming code, and second I can not seem to find any extension, framework or indication stating that studio's will recognize python code. My main question is, has any been using visual studios, and/or has updated to studios 2017 and knows how to get it set up in python?

I would check out:
PyCharm Community version: https://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/download/download-thanks.html?platform=windows&code=PCC
atom: https://atom.io/

If you are using windows I would recommend you use VS Code (Visual Studio Code). Its just a code editor with keyword color coding. Its pretty lightweight. If you want to run your python script install python from python.org and run it. I am usually coding in Ubuntu so I use gedit edit and the terminal to run my code.
VS Code can be found here: https://code.visualstudio.com/
Python 3.6.1 can be found here: https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-361/
(I assume you are kind of new to programming)

It seems to be a bit more involved. From what I gather, Python is not included in Visual Studio 2017, but is included in Visual Studio 2017 Preview. Here is the article explaining what's happening: Python and VS 2017

For Windows - Notepad++.

ok that seems to make a bit more sense, though confusing why it's only in the preview version. worst case I will stick to 2015 as the extension I have works. as the saying goes, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it."
I like using visual studio because one I am slightly a bit comfortable with it, and I like how it pops up to finish what I am typing. which I know other programs do that.

Quote:and I like how it pops up to finish what I am typing. which I know other programs do that.Most Python IDEs/editors has a autocomplete function or plugin.
Atom that i use most has it in Autocomplete-python.
Which use jedi or kite.
For REPL i use ptpython which also has autocomplete for all.
