middpy

This is an extension for VS Code that adds a few buttons to get set up with Python. It provides the ability to set up a virtual environment and install packages that are specified in settings.json of .vscode. There is also a button to open the Python shell using that environment.

Features

1. A button in the task bar (left) to set up the Python virtual environment.
2. A button in the task bar (right) to open a Python shell. There is also a menu button (>>>) that will open the same shell.

Requirements

First, Python should be installed on your system: https://www.python.org/downloads/.

This extension depends on the Microsoft Python Extension which will automatically install when installing middpy.

Extension Settings

Python packages can be installed when the virtual environment is created by specifying the following list in settings.json of your .vscode folder:

• middpy.packages: List (str) of packages to install.

Known Issues

Debugging still doesn't quite work but I don't think it's related to this extension.
