Other than the Microsoft Python extension and some themes I don't think I use much else for python dev. I from time to time add my own snippets, which can be nice. The built-in debugger and testing tools in VS code are quite nice as well. More on reddit.com

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?

Download the .vsix file of the version you want. You may have to click assets to see them.
Then open VSCode, go to extensions -> click on the three dots -> install from vsix and select your file.
To install the .vsix you can also use the command
code --install-extension ms-python-release.vsix
