-
- Use either yapf or autopep8 for code formatting (defaults to autopep8)
-

-
- yapf configuration files supported
- Linting
-
- It can be turned off (default is turn it on and use pylint)
-
- pylint can be turned on/off (default is on), supports standard configuaration files
-
- pep8 can be turned on/off (default is off), supports standard configuaration files
-
- flake8 can be turned on/off (default is on), supports standard configuaration files
-
- Different categories of errors reported by pylint can be configured as warnings, errors, information or hits
-
- Path to pylint, pep8 and flake8 and pep8 can be configured
-
- Custom plugins such as pylint plugin for Django can be easily used by modifying the settings as follows:
"python.linting.pylintPath": "pylint --load-plugins pylint_django"- Debuggging
-
- Watch window
-
- Evaluate Expressions
-
- Step through code (Step in, Step out, Continue)
-
- Add/remove break points
-
- Local variables and arguments

-
- Expanding values (viewing children, properties, etc) (Windows and Mac)
- Unit Testing
-
- unittests (default is on)
-
- nosetests (default is off)
-
- Test resutls are displayed in the "Python" output window
-
- Future release will display results in a more structured manner integrated into the IDE
