Python support in Visual Studio Community 2017

Yes, in a big way. Just the Intellisense support may by itself a great help.

You need to install PTVS (Python Tools for Visual Studio) to have Python support in Visual Studio (2017,2015, 2013 and earlier). In Visual Studio 2015 you need a Python Interpreter (Python 3.5 or earlier, 3.6 and above are not supported). The VS may guide you to install a Python Interpreter.

Python support is not presently available in Visual Studio for Mac, but is available on Mac and Linux through Visual Studio Code.

Well, here is my personal take. I have Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2017, version 15.5.7 which has the following Python related products:

VS2017Python_1

In the installed templates I can see all of the following that are specific to Python:


VS2017Python_0
What is more. You also get other perks, if you install Visual Studio that I have installed:


VS2017Python_2

Actually, I have other Python stuff as well:
