We have also added small enhancements and fixed issues requested by users that should improve your experience working with Python in Visual Studio Code. Now you no longer need to provide a configuration every time you start debugging, as the first selection you make is reused for the rest of the session. This could be particularly annoying when debugging a web application with custom arguments (like Flask, Django or FastAPI, for example). When working with workspaces with no launch.json configuration present, the Python extension would display a debugger configuration menu every time you would debug your Python file or project. We hope this will be a quick and helpful guide for those learning or starting Python for the first time in VS Code! Improvements in the debugging experience for Python projects
#Debugging python in visual studio how to#
The walkthrough covers steps such as Python installation, selection of an interpreter for your project and how to run and debug Python files in VS Code. We’re excited to announce that this release includes a walkthrough with some basic set up steps to improve the getting started experience for Python in VS Code. Then set a breakpoint, select the Debug Cell command from the drop-down menu next to the play button and start inspecting your code with all the features the debugger has to offer! New Python walkthrough To try it out, make sure you have ipykernel v6+ installed in your selected kernel. We’re excited to announce that you can now debug your Python cells on Jupyter notebooks!

If you’re interested, you can check the full list of improvements in our changelog.

You can download the Python extension from the Marketplace, or install it directly from the extension gallery in Visual Studio Code. We are pleased to announce that the October 2021 release of the Python Extension for Visual Studio Code is now available.
