VS Code Extensions for Python
Sure. Python-specific extensions: Jupyter - for working with Jupyter notebooks (if needed) Mypy - type checking Pylance - alternative tool for type checking Ruff - the best and only linter you'll need Generic extensions: CodeSnap - useful for sharing code in image form, primarily for social media. Basically https://carbon.now.sh but as an extension. Even Better TOML - for pyproject.toml files file-tree-generator - for sharing your directory structure but being too lazy to make one by hand Hex Editor - for the rare occasion you need to dig into binary files HexInspector - see numbers in other number bases on hover Live Preview - lets you render web pages within VS Code with auto-refresh Markdown All in One - because you'll generally see plenty of Markdown in projects Markdown Preview Enhanced Snyk Security - helps find common security issues WSL - Better WSL integration Theme-wise I'm also fond of Material Icon Theme, Monokai Charcoal High Contrast, and Doki-Theme, but those aren't exactly useful.

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?
