Reposted by Karthik Nadig
Today, we're announcing plans to make VS Code an open source AI editor.
We believe AI development should stay true to VS Code's core principles: open, collaborative, and community-driven. Let's build the future of software development together.

In the latest pre-release of Python Debugger extension, we added a feature that we call no-config debugging. Open a terminal is VS Code and run your script with `debugpy ` instead of `python `. Try it out.

In the latest pre-release of the Python Environments extension, you can select the library you want to install and click the edit button to set version constraints. You can do this with multiple libraries and include libs not in the list.

In the latest pre-release of Python Environments extension, we added an API to set "groups" on the environment managers list. Making it easier for environment manager extensions to deal with displaying large lists of environments.

Pro tip: if you are prone to motion sickness and own an iPhone, go into accessibility settings and enable vehicle motion cues. It’ll add dots to the sides of your screen when it detects you’re in a car.
Usually if I’m on my phone in the car, I’ll feel motion sick but this actually worked for me.

Got an email, "Thank you for coverage․py." I immediately thought, "they're going to want something, or complain about something."
Nope! It was all positive. Ended with "Thanks again for this awesome Python contribution!"

Please do not put your #Python code _inside_ of your virtual environments. Consider virtual environments:
- Disposable
- Not relocatable
- Contents managed by Python and package installers
See the bullet point list at docs.python.org/3/library/ve... if you need official docs backing this up.
