You can create a new Python file by selecting New File on the VS Code Welcome page and then selecting Python file, or by navigating to File > New File (). Tip: If you already have a workspace folder open in VS Code, you can add new files or folders directly into your existing project.

In this tutorial, you will learn how to use Python 3 in Visual Studio Code to create, run, and debug a Python "Roll a dice!" application, work with virtual environments, use packages, and more!

To create local environments in VS Code using virtual environments or Anaconda, you can follow these steps: open the Command Palette (⇧⌘P (Windows, Linux Ctrl+Shift+P)), search for the Python: Create Environment command, and select it.

Working with Python in Visual Studio Code, using the Microsoft Python extension, is simple, fun, and productive. The extension makes VS Code an excellent Python editor, and works on any operating system with a variety of Python interpreters.

When you've activated an environment with Jupyter installed, you can open a Jupyter notebook file (.ipynb) in VS Code and then convert it to Python code. Once you've converted the file, you can run the code as you would with any other Python file and also use the VS Code debugger.

In this tutorial, you create a sample JavaScript file and use some of the code editing features that VS Code offers. VS Code supports many programming languages and in a next step, you'll install a language extension to add support for a different language, namely Python.

Whether you are experimenting with smaller lines of Python code in the REPL or ready to run a Python script, the Python extension offers multiple ways to run your code.

You can create a Jupyter Notebook by running the Create: New Jupyter Notebook command from the Command Palette (⇧⌘P (Windows, Linux Ctrl+Shift+P)) or by creating a new .ipynb file in your workspace.

Create a new Python file by using File > New File… and then select Python File. Save it as main.py (⇧⌘S (Windows, Linux Ctrl+Shift+S)) in the groceries-plugin folder.

You can format your code by right-clicking on the editor and selecting Format Document, or by using the ⇧⌥F (Windows Shift+Alt+F, Linux Ctrl+Shift+I) keyboard shortcut.
