I want to develop in Python using Visual Studio 2013 or 2015 because I’m already used to the IDE, but I have no experience with the language. In the English OS there is a question that lists Visual Studio as IDE but many features are like 'to be confirmed' ("?").

According to this same table, someone could tell me which of these features are available in Visual Studio?

  • Personally, the IDE’s I use for Python are: - Atom - IDLE (comes by default with Python) - gedit (already comes by default with Ubuntu) I prefer these Ides because they can be simple and at the same time with a low initial learning curve. As for Visual Studio I never used it for Python.

  • There’s also Pycharm (https://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/); in terms of python in VS, I only know Iron Python(http://blogs.msdn.com/b/charlie/archive/2009/10/25/hosting-ironpython-in-a-c-4-0-program.aspx) - that’s probably not what you need. I had not yet heard of developing natively in python in VS.

  • I will check these IDE’s but as I am used to the VS I considered using it (http://microsoft.github.io/PTVS/). So I would like an answer that addresses more development details with VS, if I would be limited and on what points. From this I will.

    George, I like your question and I think it’s valid and important for the site. But the last part (where you ask for directions) suggests that the answers would be based on opinions, remove that part so that the question is not closed.

    @jbueno, thanks for the tip. I removed the requested part.

  • I already have a VS2015 on a computer and I’ve even tested the Python Tools on it, I just couldn’t compare it to other Ides, because my knowledge in Python is still very weak. But that’s what best suits me. Thank you!
