If not, or if you have any other install questions, I highly recommend you refer to the official site and follow along there. To verify that Python is now available in Visual Studio, check under the installed templates. You’re going to want to search for “Python Tools” after you’ve selected the “Online” option on the left side of the dialog. You should see the “Extensions and Updates” dialog window now.Select the “Extensions and Updates…” menu item.Go to the “Tools” menu at the top of the IDE.I run with Visual Studio 2012 (the dark theme too) so in my screenshots that’s what you’ll be seeing. First thing I did after watching this video (and yes, I somehow managed to hold back the excitement and wait until the video was done) was fire up Visual Studio. Did this mean I could revisit Python without having to leave the comfort of my favourite IDE? You bet. I had heard of IronPython, and I knew I could use Python with C# together, so what exactly is “ Python Tools“?Īfter I watched the video that the Visual Studio team tweeted out, I was captivated.
This was a nice little treasure to stumble upon:įree/OSS Python Tools for VS 2.0 RC is out! See it: – then download it: - VisualStudio September 10, 2013īut I didn’t really know what it was all about. I’m used to C# and the awesomeness of Visual Studio, so how could I ever break free from these two things? I’m comfortable with C#, sure, but is that enough? There’s lots of great programming languages out there! It’s hard for me to break out of my comfort zone though. Unfortunately, aside from my time at EngCorp, I hadn’t really had a use to continue on with Python development. I had never really used a dynamic or implicitly typed language, so it was quite an adventure and learning experience. However, pretty early in my career (my first co-op at Engenuity Corporation, really) I was introduced to Python. NET framework… We’re basically best friends at this point). NET (So I’m pretty attached to the whole. My development experience is primarily in C# and before that it was VB. If you haven’t tried it out yet, hopefully your brain is starting to whir and fizzle thinking about the possibilities. IronPython lets you use both C# and Python together. If you’ve used one of these languages and at least heard of the other, then you’ve probably heard of IronPython. Using Python and C# together isn’t anything new.
