Visual Studio Code (Mac) – Setting up a Python Development Environment and Complete Overview

May 1, 2019 by Corey Schafer Leave a Comment

In this Python Programming Tutorial, we will be learning how to set up a Python development environment in VSCode on MacOS. VSCode is a very nice free editor for writing Python applications and many developers are now switching over to this editor. In this video, we will learn how to install VSCode, get the Python extension installed, how to change Python interpreters, create virtual environments, format/lint our code, how to use Git within VSCode, how to debug our programs, how unit testing works, and more. We have a lot to cover, so let’s go ahead and get started…
