SelectActivity Barin theExtensions Viewicon.

The Extensions View lets you browse and install extensions directly in VS Code.

2. Install the Python Extension

Enter Python in the Extensions View's search box to browse Python-related extensions.

Select the Python extension published by Microsoft, then click the Install button.

3. Write Python Code

Create a new Python file in the workspace and name it hello.py.

Start typing the following Python code:

Example

def say_hello(name):
    print("Hello, " + name)

say_hello("VS Code")

Note:Now you can also get code suggestions and IntelliSense for your Python code.

IntelliSense provides code completion, syntax highlighting, and other features to help you write code more efficiently.

By installing extensions, you can extend VS Code's functionality as needed, thus better supporting various programming languages!
