Hi folks, if you happen to be on Windows & enjoy Python, please check out our latest release of PTVS. It's a free/OSS plug-in for VS which supports CPython, IronPython, and the usual Edit/Debug/Profile/etc. now with Django & Client Libs for Linux & MacOS as well. Another cool feature we've added is the Parallel Stack / Watch view and Django template intellisense/debugging. Disclaimer: PTVS is built by few Python/OSS enthusiasts at msft & I'll be around in case people have any questions! Cheers.

This looks fantastic. Do you know if there's any kind of similar implementation for Ruby? Would it be terribly complicated to do something similar for Ruby or a different dynamic language?

  I attended a Microsoft talk given 4-6 years ago where they were talking about Iron Ruby development. A quick search shows that they have Visual Studio tools available: http://www.ironruby.net/tools/ http://www.ironruby.net/tools/

I love PTVS, but I keep running into a problem when I debug my code. One time it'll properly highlight in my IDE where an exception (or breakpoint) occurred; the next time it won't, and I have to look in the black Python console window and inspect the stack trace . Using PTVS 1.1.50530.0 with VS2010 Ultimate.

  Hmmm... have you filed a bug on this? We're generally pretty responsive (you'll be talking directly to the dev team, not msft support). If you could include a repro that'll be perfect. thx.

I'd like to check it out, but was not able find anything on the Codeplex site about this - does it work with the Express edition of Visual Studio?
- toyg 14y ago
  It works with the free VS-Shell runtimes, so in theory it should work with Express editions, but YMMV.
- smortaz 14y ago
  toyg is correct. You can use PTVS w the the free "Integrated Shell" which gives you "Python Express". Please see the installation page on http://pytools.codeplex.com http://pytools.codeplex.com. thx.

    Thank you for the info -- I'll give it a whirl.

  Express is not extensible, so no. This is a business decision not a technical issue. I personally disagree with it, but then again I don't make these decisions.
