Streamlit Runner for VS Code

A Visual Studio Code extension that allows you to run Streamlit apps directly from the context menu. Perfect for data scientists and developers who work with Streamlit frequently.

Features

• Right-click any Python file and run it with Streamlit
• Automatically detects and uses the active Python environment (venv, conda, uv, pyenv, pipenv, etc.)
• Displays environment info in the terminal so you can verify the correct interpreter is in use
• Each app runs in its own terminal, allowing multiple Streamlit apps to run simultaneously
• Clean terminal output with Ctrl+C support to stop the server

Requirements

• Visual Studio Code v1.93.0 or higher
• Python
• Streamlit (pip install streamlit)
• Python extension (recommended, for automatic environment detection)

Usage

1. Right-click on any Python file in the VS Code explorer
2. Select "Run with Streamlit" from the context menu
3. The app will start in a new terminal window

The extension automatically uses whichever Python interpreter is selected in VS Code's status bar. If you're using a virtual environment, just make sure it's selected as the active interpreter.
