  • If you have your Python Interpreter choosen inside of Vscode, you can normally find it on the bottom right of you screen.
  • This is the same Interpreter that the Terminal inside VSCode is using.
  • When your .py file is open and you have the Python Extension installed, you should have a small triangle on the Top right, this will execute the python script in your open Editor.
  • Additionally you can Click on the left of your Code and set "Breakpoints", those will help when you have to Debug your Code immensely.
  • I suggest researching Breakpoints a bit more, because I shouldn't write a whole Explenation of Breakpoints here now.

If you have your Python Interpreter choosen inside of Vscode, you can normally find it on the bottom right of you screen.

This is the same Interpreter that the Terminal inside VSCode is using.

When your .py file is open and you have the Python Extension installed, you should have a small triangle on the Top right, this will execute the python script in your open Editor.

Additionally you can Click on the left of your Code and set "Breakpoints", those will help when you have to Debug your Code immensely.
I suggest researching Breakpoints a bit more, because I shouldn't write a whole Explenation of Breakpoints here now.
