PTVS - Core editing experience with Python Tools for Visual Studio

This is a short video on the Free/OSS plug-in that turns VS into a Python IDE. PTVS is created by a few Python & open source enthusiasts at Microsoft.

Professional video demo; impressively robust features; and all conveyed in just the right amount of time. An excellent find this VS module is.

You guys getting paid yet? (serious question)

-- Thanks for the nice comment! actually we have no marketing, PR department, etc. we make our own videos. We hope to post 5 more soon. Let us know if there are topics you guys want covered.

Re getting paid - we work for Microsoft, so we're getting paid, tho if many more ppl used PTVS maybe they'll give us a bonus someday :).

very, very, very good tutorial, thank you for your time!!

The intellisense inferring the output type of a method/function sure beats PyDev and is very impressive; because of that I will be comparing Visual Studio to my Eclipse IDE setup in the near future.

[Phani Raghavendra Prasad]

Intellisense is ok, but not good. Many attributes are not available

e.g.:

1. say, 'rect' is a class, and if you want to print it's attributes, rect.__dict__ is used. __dict__ is not available in the Intellisense

2. It doesn't work for many Win32 components, it's so frustating.

Please fix this.

nice. Will it ever be available in Linux??

[TroutButter]

Editing experience? LOL! How stupid. Why does everything need to be an "experience" these days? It's freaking ridiculous.

I have been all my life coding on VS with C#. Now starting to use Python. This PTVS is just what I needed for a smooth transition. Thanks guy

visual studio IDE is simply the best

[Zeeshan Ali Sayyed]

Visual Studio is one of the best IDEs I have ever worked with and PTVS makes even more powerful! Kudos! \m/

Another thank you for an excellent demo video. I'm very used to the way VS IDE works in c++, and appreciate how much it will help while I learn python.

Hello, thanks for your professional video. I have two questions: first, I need to debug ironpython inside the VS but it faisl, it always run the previous one. How can I get rid of the previous program and run the new one? Second, I use ironpython to communicate with another application (ANSYS), if I run it inside the ANSYS ironpython it works, but if I run it in VS it doesn't. Thanks in advanced.
