Must have VSCode Extensions

Surprised to see SSH and LiveServer extensions get recommended over dev containers.

Vscode dev containers are one of the best features of the IDE. No more bootstrapping remote hosts and making sure all of your team is using the same dependencies. Just bake everything into a dockerfile and away you go.

Also a no brainer if you ever want to deploy to an orchestration layer like k8s or ECS.

r/learnpython on Reddit: What are your favorite extensions for VSCODE that make coding in Python easier?
June 28, 2023 -

I just learned about autoDocstring last night and I'm blown away how nice this extension is. It makes creating docstrings so much easier and automated. Personally, I'm a fan of Google's style for docstrings so that's what I've set my default to when generating docstrings!

Another favorite extension of mine is this linter: Ruff. However, it is a bit buggy in that it duplicates functions at the bottom of the file, but other than that I love it!

Lastly, this is not an extension, but I love the Black library and auto-saving my .py files with this formatting provider in VSCODE.

I'm curious what this communities' favorite extensions are that make coding in Python easier or automated?
