Looking for Python Tools for Visual Studio
-
I cannot find Python Tools for Visual Studio. All I have been able to find are web pages that talk about it or show pictures. I'm using Visual Studio 2010. Will that version work? Please advise.

Okay I got it going. But I'm wondering how I get Visual Studio to show error messages at the bottom of it's IDE window? Right now it's not doing that.

I can give you a better option for this, please consider using Visual Studio Code, and add the Python extension for that. It has the best in the class support for Python—I have personally enjoyed working in Visual Studio Code, as compared to Visual Studio or PyCharm. Visual Studio 2010 is really outdated, and you are not going to get the best experience for development, at all. I wrote a blog post about the same thing, you can check that out here on my blog, [PyCharm vs Visual Studio Code for Python Development](http://afzaal-ahmad-zeeshan.blogspot.com/2017/12/pycharm-vs-visual-studio-code-for-python-development.html). Visual Studio Code is really light-weight and powerful enough to support a smooth development experience. Check out more on the Visual Studio Code and Python environment here, [Python in Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/languages/python).
The shit I complain about It's like there ain't a cloud in the sky and it's raining out - Eminem ~! Firewall !~

I personally like the 2010 version. I just tried the 2015 version and I still can't get the compile or syntax errors to show at the bottom of the screen. I tried Visual Studio Code a long time ago and I could not get it set up to work at all. I guess I will try it again though. If you can offer any tips on how to configure it for Python please post.

Okay I got Visual Studio Code installed and I have successfully started a Python file and have also successfully run it. But here is what bothers me: After saving my source code file and I hit the green debug button on the left I get tons of gobbleygook in the terminal window. I hate looking at all that crap. It drives me nuts. If I click on the Debug Console then I get to see only the output from my program which is what I want. My question though is how can I set it up so when I run my program it goes automatically right away to the Debug Console so I don't have to look at all that gobblygook in the terminal window?

Okay I got it figured out. You have to go into the .json configuration file and change console to 'none'.

But it appears that Visual Studio Code is slow at executing the file. Visual Studio and Eclipse are faster.

The latest version of Visual studio provides the same. Python Development Tools | Visual Studio[^] Hope it helps
