>Are these tool somewhat related?
No. The post you have referred to is for "Visual Studio" (this is the full blown IDE that runs only on Windows).
"Visual Studio Code Editor" on the other hand is considered a light weight IDE, more of an editor.
This is cross platform, completely open source and very light weight.
>Is this a standalone tools,so if download "Visual Studio Code Editor".
With Visual Studio Code, you download the editor and then install the necessary extensions.
To my knowledge majority of the extensions (99.9%) are free and open source.
So if you wanted to develop on python using Visual Studio Code editor:
- First download Visual Studio Code
- Next install the Python Extension
