When i install python extension in VSCode.dev, it popped up notification that: 'Python' has limited functionality in Visual Studio Code for the Web. Limited support on the web. Contains extensions which are not supported. So i think this is the reason we can't run python code in VSCode.dev More on reddit.com

r/learnprogramming on Reddit: VS Code in browser.
December 2, 2024 -

I just learned that you can actually do VS code in the browser. See a lot of benefit to this mainly being you can have your IDE be universal regardless of how you access it. But I feel like there's bound to be drawbacks or else everybody would use it. Anyone have experience with this and share the pros and cons

Some of the major drawbacks include: Your IDE might not be VS Code (and in general, VS Code is an electron-based program so it's one of very few IDEs that can easily run in a browser). You'll still be missing all the other components of a fully-functional dev environment (of which the IDE is only one part). For instance, git, a diff program, and whatever other programs you might need. I personally need git (CLI), all my git macros, Beyond Compare, Notepad++, image-editing software, HTTP-related programs like Postman, both Firefox and Chrome (for testing web apps), a variety of languages installed (e.g. Java, C#, typescript). It's really hard to debug a program using a web IDE since communicating with a desktop program is not easy from within a browser. Your web IDE won't work without an internet connection (or a flaky connection). Some service will have to host the web IDE, so it's either self-hosted, or someone else is hosting it. If someone else is hosting it, this comes with all of your typical security, privacy, and reliability concerns. But I feel like there's bound to be drawbacks or else everybody would use it. But perhaps a simpler answer is that there isn't a lot of upside to this. If you have a regular computer (or a few computers) that you typically work with, it's not a challenging task to set up your desired development environment. I don't trust other people's computers (whether it's a public computer or just someone else's system), so I wouldn't want to log into any online system with my credentials on someone else's computer; thus, I wouldn't want to use an online IDE when working on someone else's machine either.
