Python Learning-2. Installing the IDE

The Python installation package already contains an IDE called Idle, which can be found within the Python installation directory

./lib/idlelib/idle.bat

Or you can find it in the Start menu.

However, this IDE is very weak and lacks the functionality of syntax hints and so on. Personal as a C # programmer, can write Python in Visual Studio, search, there is a way. The name of the plugin is called Python Tools for Visual Studio, which can be found on CodePlex.

Plugin Home: https://pytools.codeplex.com/

Download page: https://pytools.codeplex.com/releases/view/123624

Once the download is complete, close Visual Studio and then run the downloaded plug-in (otherwise, if you want to close Visual Studio during installation), you can use Visual Studio to write and run Python after the installation is complete.

Open Visual Studio, new project

Choose Python application, the console program, after the new completion, you can see our familiar "Hello world", the right-click menu select Start with Debugging or F5 can debug run.
