Unzip VS Code ZIP file (See VS Code Download, Look for the .zip in 64 Bit variant) into <WinPythonInsFolder>/t/VSCode.

have a vscode and install the python extension.

Currently three options:

Option 1:

• launch you favorite "winpython command prompt"
• type "code" to lauch vscode, and do ++P to select the current Python interpreter in the path

Option 2:

• register winpython: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-python/issues/784#issuecomment-367430225

nota:

• the user "settings.json" of VSCode is in "C:\Users[your_profile]\AppData\Roaming\Code\User, for a VSCODE windows install,
• a VSCODE systems install brings automatic updates,
• Jedi is our classic completer, that Spyder-4 and VSCode tends to replace per "Microsoft langage server"

to make it work:

• create a file toto.py with print('hello') in it
• save it
• right -clik run-it in a python terminal (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6YLMWU-5H9o at around 5'
• see also tutorial https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/python-tutorial

Option 3: (too complex)

• set the full path to winpython in your VScode setting: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-python/issues/784#issuecomment-367429708
  • open the VScode menu "file->preferences->settings" -in the settings window, reight-click on the "..." at the rigt o fthe "user settings" line and choose "open settings.json"
    • complete or create the line python.pythonPath:

 "python.pythonPath": "C:\\WinP\\bd37\\bu\\winp64-3.7.x.0\\python-3.7.1rc2.amd64\\python.exe",

 - full example:

{
    "python.pythonPath": "C:\\WinP\\bd37\\bu\\winp64-3.7.x.0\\python-3.7.1rc2.amd64\\python.exe",
    "workbench.colorTheme": "Visual Studio Dark",
    "editor.minimap.enabled": true,
    "python.linting.pylintArgs": [

        "--disable=C0103", // Invalid function name"
        "--disable=C0303", // Trailing whitespace
        "--disable=C0111" // :Missing function docstrin"
    ],
    "editor.renderWhitespace": "none",
    "editor.renderControlCharacters": true,
    "[cpp]": {
        "editor.quickSuggestions": false
    },
    "[c]": {
        "editor.quickSuggestions": false

    "python.jediEnabled": false
