- jeffwass 10y agoI'm curious if you've tried Visual Studio Code for Python on Mac? I've heard good things about it, and just this past weekend tried it out, but couldn't even get a simple Hello World working on it for Python. I installed the common Python extension for it (Don Jayamanne's), but seems like it couldn't Link with the Python toolset. Ie, I could edit scripts with Python highlighting and autocomplete, but couldn't get them to execute. I gave up after an hour of trying and went back to pycharm. I'd be interested in giving it another go, but worried if I'm needing to bang my head just for a Hello World, how bad it might get later on.
- antfarm 10y agoI first tried VS Code for Python programming on the Mac last weekend, made it my main Python editor/ide by now. I found it extremely straightforward to set up, esp. the debugger is usable in a very intuitive way. Have you set the configuration setting for the python executable? "python.pythonPath": "/usr/bin/python", https://github.com/DonJayamanne/pythonVSCode/wiki/Python-Path-and-Version#manual-configuration https://github.com/DonJayamanne/pythonVSCode/wiki/Python-Pat...

- tangue 10y agoI didn't manage too. And I'm a bit confused since it seems simple according to other posts in this thread.
