[Python] Hello world in VSCODE

 Python   Visual Studio Code   

▌Introduction

---

Let’s see how to get the VSCODE ready for developing Python.

▌Configuration

---

▋Install Python

Go to Python.org and install it.

▋Install Python packages

Pylint: source code analyzer

$ python –m pip install pylint

autopep8: formats Python code to conform to the PEP 8 style guide

$ python –m pip install autopep8

▋Install VSCODE extensions

Python

Code Runner

▌Implement

---

Create a *.py file and write some codes.

# Number

num1 = 10

num2 = 20

num1 += 5

num2 += 5

sum = num1 + num2

print("Total = " + str(sum))

# Array

list = []

list.append("JB")

list.append("Lily")

list.append("Leia")

list.append("Hachi")

list.remove("Hachi")

for value in list:

    print("Name : " + value)

We will see the coding error message from Pylint.

And use Shift+ALT+f to format the codes.

After the codes are done, press F1 and key in “run code” to run the codes.

(Or use hot keys as the following picture)

▋Result

[Running] python "e:\Works\Source control\Github\KarateJB\Python.Practice\src\helloworld.py"

Total = 40

Name : JB

Name : Lily

Name : Leia

[Done] exited with code=0 in 0.159 seconds
