Python Tools for Visual Studio Now on GitHub
- rpcope1 11y agoI wonder how this will stack up against Jetbrains PyCharm. I am always amazed at what the guys at how excellent PyCharm is, maybe Microsoft can do even better.
- int_19h 11y agoThere's a lot of common ground feature-wise, but both also have their strong points. PyCharm's biggest one is that it's cross-platform, but also good integration with GAE and AWS, and neat features such as Cython editing. PTVS, on the other hand, is Windows-only, but has neat stuff like debugging Python and C++ side by side: https://github.com/Microsoft/ptvs/wiki/Mixed-Mode-Debugging https://github.com/Microsoft/ptvs/wiki/Mixed-Mode-Debugging
- giancarlostoro 11y agoI was going to mention this, but didn't find the page. This is really neat. Not sure what other IDE's let you do that with Python.
- giancarlostoro 11y agoFrom personal experience, I've used both I have to say: Python Tools for Visual Studio is one of Microsoft's "best kept secrets" is how I describe it. I would say they're both exactly well-built solutions. If you have Visual Studio I highly recommend you give it a shot, it's really well defined in my opinion. It also has a plethora of features[1]. However, when I'm on Linux I usually use PyCharm. [1] https://github.com/Microsoft/PTVS/wiki/Features-Matrix https://github.com/Microsoft/PTVS/wiki/Features-Matrix
- lawnchair_larry 11y agoThe problem with this is that it's an add-on to a bloated behemoth that takes 10 GB and a reboot to install and nearly that much memory to run. PyCharm has a lot going for it simply by being not that.
- pdevr 11y agoGoing one level up: https://github.com/Microsoft https://github.com/Microsoft Good to see Microsoft having 100 plus open source projects out there!
- yaleman 11y agoAww, I hoped this was for Code :(
- DonGateley 11y agoDoes this work with Visual Studio Community 2013?
- Stratoscope 11y agoVS2013 Community is really VS2013 Professional with different licensing. Any VS2013 Professional addon will also work in VS2013 Community.
- pacaro 11y agoI don't know the answer to this question, but my understanding is that you don't need a paid version of Visual Studio
- smortaz 11y agoit does. in fact, that is the default recommendation, ie PTVS installed into Community Edition: https://github.com/Microsoft/PTVS/wiki/PTVS-Installation https://github.com/Microsoft/PTVS/wiki/PTVS-Installation
- DonGateley 11y agoThanks. Excellent Wiki. Kudos to Christopher Wilcox.
- tosh 11y agoI wonder if Microsoft is working on a cross-platform version of Visual Studio. Anyone has any experience running it on OS X using Parallels or similar? Or is Visual Studio Code the philosophical successor to Visual Studio? Anyone familiar enough with Microsoft to elaborate?
- ossreality 11y agoWell, VS runs perfectly fine, just like any other application, inside of Parallels or VMware, or VirtualBox, or whatever.
- Stratoscope 11y agoVisual Studio works fine in a VM. I've used it in VMware and Parallels. I like the overall integration better in Parallels, but either one will do. Visual Studio Code is a completely different product that happens to (confusingly!) share the same name.
- 0xFFC 11y agoExactly visual studio code and visual studio they have almost same name , nothing else , visual studio code is on top of web technology (as far as I know) , something like Bracket , Atom. But Visual Studio have completely different software stack/
- tosh 11y agoI understand that they are different and yet share some of the same tools that drive the analysis and autocompletion (?). I'd just like to understand how they compare from a product strategy point of view going forward in case anyone knows.
- 0xFFC 11y agoI have had this question in mind too,but I think this not going anywhere.because for example visual studio extension development is in C#( am I right?).So using managed code base in something related to web , I think is almost impossible.
