Fortunately, it is possible to connect VSCode to your Python installation using special extensions.<\/p><p>An extension is like a small application that you add to VSCode to give it extra functionality. For example, you can add a Python extension to VSCode, and once this is done, you&#8217;ll be able to run your Python code directly from VSCode. This makes the process easier and more convenient for programming.<\/p><p>\ud83d\udca1Related articles:<\/p><table dir=\"ltr\" border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" data-sheets-root=\"1\"><colgroup><col width=\"656\" \/><\/colgroup><tbody><tr><td data-sheets-value=\"{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:&quot;Mastering Machine Learning in Python: Data-Driven Success &quot;}\" data-sheets-hyperlink=\"https:\/\/datascientest.com\/en\/machine-learning-python-where-to-start\"><a class=\"in-cell-link\" href=\"https:\/\/datascientest.com\/en\/machine-learning-python-where-to-start\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mastering Machine Learning in Python: Data-Driven Success <\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td data-sheets-value=\"{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:&quot;Python Programming for Beginners - Episode 3&quot;}\" data-sheets-hyperlink=\"https:\/\/datascientest.com\/en\/python-programming-for-beginners-episode-3\"><a class=\"in-cell-link\" href=\"https:\/\/datascientest.com\/en\/python-programming-for-beginners-episode-3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Python Programming for Beginners &#8211; Episode 3<\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td data-sheets-value=\"{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:&quot;Django: All about the Python web development framework&quot;}\" data-sheets-hyperlink=\"https:\/\/datascientest.com\/en\/django-all-about-the-python-web-development-framework\"><a class=\"in-cell-link\" href=\"https:\/\/datascientest.com\/en\/django-all-about-the-python-web-development-framework\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Django: All about the Python web development framework<\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td data-sheets-value=\"{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:&quot;NumPy : the most used Python library in Data Science&quot;}\" data-sheets-hyperlink=\"https:\/\/datascientest.com\/en\/numpy-the-python-library-in-data-science\"><a class=\"in-cell-link\" href=\"https:\/\/datascientest.com\/en\/numpy-the-python-library-in-data-science\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NumPy : the most used Python library in Data Science<\/a><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7cf467e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7cf467e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>If you&#8217;d like to go further and learn programming from seasoned data scientists, take a look at our Data Scientist training course.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-630d489 elementor-align-center button-principale elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"630d489\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm elementor-animation-grow\" href=\"https:\/\/datascientest.com\/en\/data-scientist-course\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Find out more about our Data training courses<\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-80ae64d elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"80ae64d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n  \"@type\": \"FAQPage\",\n  \"mainEntity\": [{\n    \"@type\": \"Question\",\n    \"name\": \"What is Visual Studio Code?\",\n    \"acceptedAnswer\": {\n      \"@type\": \"Answer\",\n      \"text\": \"Visual Studio Code, an open-source code editor developed by Microsoft, stands out for its ease of use and versatility, making it an ideal choice for people new to programming.\"\n    }\n  },{\n    \"@type\": \"Question\",\n    \"name\": \"Why use Visual Studio Code?\",\n    \"acceptedAnswer\": {\n      \"@type\": \"Answer\",\n      \"text\": \"Visual Studio Code, often referred to as VSCode, is an easy-to-use code editor that offers many advantages: syntax highlighting, error detection, autocompletion and ease of use.\"\n    }\n  }]\n}\n<\/script>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When starting out in programming, the use of a code editor can quickly become an essential step.
