Python Hello World Tutorial Install Python and the Python extension For a walkthrough of editing, running, and debugging code, use the button below. This article provides only an overview of the different capabilities of the Python extension for VS Code. It leverages all of VS Code's power to provide auto complete and IntelliSense, linting, debugging, and unit testing, along with the ability to easily switch between Python environments, including virtual and conda environments.

#Create virtual environment python visual studio code code#

The extension makes VS Code an excellent Python editor, and works on any operating system with a variety of Python interpreters. Working with Python in Visual Studio Code, using the Microsoft Python extension, is simple, fun, and productive. Configure IntelliSense for cross-compiling.And my view is that also development environments should be isolated and repeatable, not just end-user environments. So, for me, your use-case is right in how I use rcc in my daily life, but it is just my opinion (and way of working). This might work also with VS Code, but have not tested it since I do not use or own VS code. depending on what it does, you could use that “environment enabling” and run that python setup.py development there, but if it setting local things, they might not be visible elsewhere ….doing that python setup.py develop since there can be “anything” (that can also break/pollute isolated environment).you can also now enable that environment in your terminal using command source coolaidevenv.bat and then doing call coolaidevenv.bat.bonus: you can also add your development tasks as robot tasks in robot.yaml and that way have repeatable way to operate on your code.then I would put all development dependencies in conda.yaml including everything from you requirements.txt pip dependencies (but would move as much as possible as conda-forge dependencies ).then in robot.yaml I would add PYTHONPATH entry for that the-api-library (and optional PATH entry, if there are executables there …).inside that project, I would create a subdirectory called the-api-library (either directly or as git submodule).create a new robot, lets call it “coolaidev” (using rcc create coolaidev on some working basedir).For library development work you might want to use something like poetry for example.Īnd I probably do not have solution for you, but this is what I would do: So anyway, chiming in here with a use case for using a non-robot.yaml managed environmentįirst of all, if tooling is working against you, then do not use it. Essentially, everything would be great if I could just tell it to use my own environment. Users/matt/.robocorp/holotree/b1f3c244e_fe22aa9b/bin/python3 could of course hack around that by calling /Users/matt/.robocorp/holotree/b1f3c244e_fe22aa9b/bin/python setup.py develop directly and working around it that way it’s just awkward. This is what I see in the terminal that pops up when I run a task: cat /var/folders/cr/3w7mdhbj1v110mwc715l1_gw0000gn/T/rf-ls-run/run_env_00_dea0m0ms.sh

However, when I try to run that in VS Code, it fails because it is overriding my environment with the. Very specifically, I made an environment and everything works fine in it, insofar as I can run robot and it’ll work. Now, I can’t do that because I can’t use the conda.yml setup to install my other package in dev mode (I can’t use the -rrequirements hack because your environment-building tooling doesn’t copy the file across). # in package my_aiįrom import keyword, library I want to be able to do the same thing in my library. So we can edit and see the code changes quickly. What we do outside your VS Code plugin is something akin to mamba env create -n rpa -f environment.yml In order to do the development conveniently, I need the robot I’m building to have access to that AI code (which is an existing python package) in development/editable mode. I’m trying to build a robot library that uses some other AI stuff we wrote. In my particular case, I’m using mamba already but I need to create the environment with my own tooling. I’ll chime in with a use case here for allowing VS code to use an existing environment that might be informative/useful here.
