Full-featured debugging
One of Visual Studio’s strengths is its powerful debugger. For Python in particular, Visual Studio includes Python/C++ mixed-mode debugging, remote debugging on Linux, debugging within the Interactive window, and debugging Python unit tests.
In Visual Studio 2019 and later, you can run and debug code without having a Visual Studio project file. See Quickstart: Open and run Python code in a folder for an example.

Project system, and project and item templates
Visual Studio helps you manage the complexity of a project as it grows over time. A Visual Studio project is more than a folder structure. A project aids in the understanding of how different files are used and how they relate to each other. Visual Studio helps you distinguish app code, test code, web pages, JavaScript, build scripts, and so on, which then enable file-appropriate features. A Visual Studio solution helps you manage multiple related projects, such as a Python project and a C++ extension project.
Note
In Visual Studio 2019 and later, you can open a folder containing Python code and run that code without creating a Visual Studio project or solution file. For more information, see Quickstart: Open and run Python code in a folder. Keep in mind that there are benefits to using a project file, as explained in this section.
The following image shows an example of a Visual Studio solution containing both Python and Flask projects in Solution Explorer.
Project and item templates automate the process of setting up different types of projects and files. The templates save you valuable time and relieve you from managing intricate and error-prone details. Visual Studio provides templates for web, Azure, data science, console, and other types of projects. You can find templates for files like Python classes, unit tests, Azure web configuration, HTML, and even Django apps.

Test your install
Quickly check your installation of Python support:
-
Launch Visual Studio.
-
Select Alt + I to open the Python Interactive window.
-
In the window, enter the statement
2+2
.The statement output
displays in the window. If you don’t see the correct output, recheck your steps.
View environments
-
Select the View > Other Windows > Python Environments menu command. The Python Environments window opens as a peer to Solution Explorer and shows the different environments available to you. The list shows both environments that you installed using the Visual Studio installer and environments you installed separately. That includes global, virtual, and conda environments. The environment in bold is the default environment that’s used for new projects. For more information about working with environments, see How to create and manage Python environments in Visual Studio environments.
Note
You can also use the Ctrl+K, Ctrl+` keyboard shortcut to open the Python Environments window from the Solution Explorer window. If the shortcut doesn’t work and you can’t find the Python Environments window in the menu, it’s possible that you haven’t installed the Python workload. See How to install Python support in Visual Studio on Windows for guidance about how to install Python.
With a Python project open, you can open the Python Environments window from Solution Explorer. Right-click Python Environments and select View All Python Environments.
-
Now, create a new project with File > New > Project, selecting the Python Application template.
-
In the code file that appears, paste the following code, which creates a cosine wave like the previous tutorial steps, only this time plotted graphically. You can also use the project you previously created and replace the code.
from math import radians import numpy as np # installed with matplotlib import matplotlib.pyplot as plt def main(): x = np.arange(0, radians(1800), radians(12)) plt.plot(x, np.cos(x), 'b') plt.show() main()
-
In the editor window, hover over the
numpy
and
matplotlib
import statements. You’ll notice that they aren’t resolved. To resolve the import statements, install the packages to the default global environment. -
When you look at the editor window, notice that when you hover over the
numpy
and
matplotlib
import statements that they aren’t resolved. The reason is the packages haven’t been installed to the default global environment.For example, select Open interactive window and an Interactive window for that specific environment appears in Visual Studio.
-
Use the drop-down list below the list of environments to switch to the Packages tab.The Packages tab lists all packages that are currently installed in the environment.

Python support in Visual Studio on Windows
Python is a popular programming language that’s reliable, flexible, easy to learn, free to use on all operating systems, and supported by both a strong developer community and many free libraries. Python supports all manner of development, including web applications, web services, desktop apps, scripting, and scientific computing. Scientists, casual developers, professional developers, and many universities alike use Python for programming. You can learn more about the language on python.org and Python for Beginners.
Visual Studio is a powerful Python IDE on Windows. Visual Studio provides open-source support for the Python language through the Python Development and Data Science workloads (Visual Studio 2017 and later) and the free Python Tools for Visual Studio extension (Visual Studio 2015 and earlier). Tour the Visual Studio IDE to familiarize yourself with the IDE features for writing and editing Python code.
Visual Studio Code is available on Mac and Linux. For more information, see questions and answers.
To get started:
-
Follow the installation instructions to set up the Python workload.
-
Familiarize yourself with the Python capabilities of Visual Studio through the sections in this article.
-
Go through one or more of the Quickstarts to create a project. If you’re unsure, start with Quickstart: Open and run Python code in a folder or Create a web app with Flask.
-
Follow the Work with Python in Visual Studio tutorial for a full end-to-end experience.
Prerequisites
-
Visual Studio supports Python version 3.7. While it’s possible to use an earlier version of Visual Studio to edit code written in earlier versions of Python, those versions of Python aren’t officially supported. Visual Studio features such as IntelliSense and debugging might not work with earlier versions of Python.
-
For Visual Studio 2015 and earlier, use Python 3.5 or earlier. You must manually install one of the Python interpreters.
Anaconda distributions
Although Visual Studio offers to install the Anaconda distribution, your use of the distribution and other packages from Anaconda Repository are bound by the Anaconda Terms of Service. These terms might require some organizations to pay Anaconda for a commercial license, or else configure the tools to access an alternate repository. For more information, see the Conda channels documentation.
Review elements in Solution Explorer
Take some time to familiarize yourself with Solution Explorer, where you can browse files and folders in your project.
-
(1) At the top level is the solution, which by default has the same name as your project. A solution, which is shown as an .sln file on disk, is a container for one or more related projects. For example, if you write a C++ extension for your Python application, that C++ project can be in the same solution. The solution might also contain a project for a web service, and projects for dedicated test programs.
-
(2) Your project is highlighted in bold and uses the name you entered in the Create a new project dialog. On disk, this project is represented by a .pyproj file in your project folder.
-
(3) Under your project you see source files. In this example, you have only a single .py file. Selecting a file displays its properties in the Properties window. If you don’t see the Properties window, select the wrench icon in the Solution Explorer banner. Double-clicking a file opens it in whatever way is appropriate for that file.
-
(4) Also under the project is the Python Environments node. Expand the node to show the available Python interpreters.
-
(5) Expand an interpreter node to see the libraries installed in that environment.
Right-click any node or item in Solution Explorer to show a context menu of applicable commands. For example, Rename lets you change the name of a node or item, including the project and the solution.
Review Python interpreters
The following table lists Python interpreters that can be used with Visual Studio.
Interpreter | Description | Notes |
CPython | The “native” and most commonly used interpreter, available in 32-bit and 64-bit versions (32-bit recommended). Includes the latest language features, maximum Python package compatibility, full debugging support, and interop with IPython. Review the considerations in Should I use Python 2 or Python 3? to help determine which version of Python to install. | Visual Studio 2015 and earlier don’t support Python 3.6 or later, and can return errors like Unsupported python version 3.6. For Visual Studio 2015 and earlier, use Python 3.5 or earlier. |
IronPython | A .NET implementation of Python, available in 32-bit and 64-bit versions. Provides C#/F#/Visual Basic interop, access to .NET APIs, standard Python debugging (but not C++ mixed-mode debugging), and mixed IronPython/C# debugging. | IronPython doesn’t support virtual environments. |
Anaconda | An open data science platform powered by Python. Includes the latest version of CPython and most of the difficult-to-install packages. | If you’re unable to decide on an interpreter, we recommend using Anaconda. |
PyPy | A high-performance tracing JIT implementation of Python. Good for long-running programs and situations where you identify performance issues but can’t find other resolutions. | Works with Visual Studio but with limited support for advanced debugging features. |
Jython | An implementation of Python on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). Similar to IronPython, code running in Jython can interact with Java classes and libraries. However, many of the libraries intended for CPython might not be accessible. | Works with Visual Studio but with limited support for advanced debugging features. |

Questions and answers
Q. Is Python support available with Visual Studio for Mac?
A. Visual Studio for Mac isn’t currently supported. For more information, see What’s happening to Visual Studio for Mac? Visual Studio Code on Windows, Mac, and Linux works well with Python through available extensions.
Q. What can I use to build UI with Python?
A. The main offering in this area is the Qt Project with bindings for Python known as PySide (the official binding) (also see PySide downloads) and PyQt. Python support in Visual Studio doesn’t include any specific tools for UI development.
Q. Can a Python project produce a stand-alone executable?
A. Python is generally an interpreted language, where code is run on demand in a suitable Python-capable environment such as Visual Studio and web servers. Visual Studio doesn’t currently provide the means to create a stand-alone executable, which essentially means a program with an embedded Python interpreter. However, the Python community offers different means to create executables as described on StackOverflow. CPython also supports being embedded within a native application, as described on the blog post, Using CPython’s embeddable zip file.
Support for multiple interpreters
Visual Studio’s Python Environments window gives you a single place to manage all of your global Python environments, conda environments, and virtual environments. Visual Studio automatically detects installations of Python in standard locations, and allows you to configure custom installations. With each environment, you can easily manage packages, open an interactive window for that environment, and access environment folders.
Use the Open interactive window command to run Python interactively within the context of Visual Studio. Use the Open in PowerShell command to open a separate command window in the folder of the selected environment. In that command window, you can run any python script.

Tutorial: Work with Python in Visual Studio
In this tutorial, you learn how to work with Python in Visual Studio. Python is a popular programming language that’s reliable, flexible, easy to learn, and free to use on all operating systems. Python is supported by a strong developer community and many free libraries. The language supports all kinds of development, including web applications, web services, desktop apps, scripting, and scientific computing. Many universities, scientists, casual developers, and professional developers use Python. Visual Studio provides first-class language support for Python.
This tutorial guides you through a six-step process:
- Step 1: Create a Python project (this article)
- Step 2: Write and run code to see Visual Studio IntelliSense at work
- Step 3: Create more code in the Interactive REPL window
- Step 4: Run the completed program in the Visual Studio debugger
- Step 5: Install packages and manage Python environments
- Step 6: Work with Git
This article covers the tasks in Step 1. You create a new project and review the UI elements visible in Solution Explorer.
Move an interpreter
If you move an existing interpreter to a new location by using the file system, Visual Studio doesn’t automatically detect the change.
-
If you originally specified the location of the interpreter through the Python Environments window, you can edit its environment by using the Configure tab in that window to identify the new location. For more information, see Manually identify an existing environment.
-
If you installed the interpreter by using an installer program, use the following steps to reinstall the interpreter in the new location:
- Restore the Python interpreter to its original location.
- Uninstall the interpreter by using its installer, which clears the registry entries.
- Reinstall the interpreter at the new location.
- Restart Visual Studio, which should autodetect the new location in place of the old location.
This process ensures that the registry entries that identify the interpreter’s location, which Visual Studio uses, are properly updated. Using an installer also handles any other side effects that might exist.
Open source
Fork us on Github
Python Tools for Visual Studio is a completely free extension, developed and supported by Microsoft with contributions from the community. Visit our Github page to see or participate in PTVS development.
Install Python interpreters
There are several options for installing Python interpreters to work with Visual Studio. You can install an interpreter when you install the Python workload, or you can install an interpreter after a workload is present. Interpreters can also be installed manually outside of the Visual Studio Installer.
When you install the Python development workload in Visual Studio 2017 and later, Python 3 (64-bit) also installs by default. As an option, you can choose to install the 32-bit or 64-bit version of Python 2 or Python 3, along with Miniconda (Visual Studio 2019) or Anaconda 2/Anaconda 3 (Visual Studio 2017). The steps for this type of installation are described in Install Python support in Visual Studio.
An alternate approach is to install standard Python interpreters by using the Add Environment feature in Visual Studio. This option is available in the Python Environments window and the Python toolbar.
Python interpreters can also be installed manually outside of the Visual Studio Installer. Suppose you install Anaconda 3 before you install Visual Studio. You don’t need to reinstall Anaconda through the Visual Studio Installer. You can also install a newer version of an interpreter if it isn’t yet listed in the Visual Studio Installer.
Install packages using the Python Environments window
-
From the Python Environments window, select the default environment for new Python projects and choose the Packages tab. You’ll then see a list of packages that are currently installed in the environment.
-
Install
matplotlib
by entering its name into the search field and then selecting the Run command: pip install matplotlib option. Running the command will install
matplotlib
, and any packages it depends on (in this case that includes
numpy
). -
Choose the Packages tab.
-
Consent to elevation if prompted to do so.
-
After the package is installed, it appears in the Python Environments window. The X to the right of the package uninstalls it.
-
Consent to elevation if prompted to do so.
-
After the package installs, it appears in the Python Environments window. The X to the right of the package uninstalls it.
Note
A small progress bar might appear underneath the environment to indicate that Visual Studio is building its IntelliSense database for the newly-installed package. The IntelliSense tab also shows more detailed information. Be aware that until that database is complete, IntelliSense features like auto-completion and syntax checking won’t be active in the editor for that package.
Visual Studio 2017 version 15.6 and later uses a different and faster method for working with IntelliSense, and displays a message to that effect on the IntelliSense tab.
Step 1: Create a new Python project
A project is how Visual Studio manages all the files that come together to produce a single application. Application files include source code, resources, and configurations. A project formalizes and maintains the relationships among all the project’s files. The project also manages external resources that are shared between multiple projects. A project allows your application to effortlessly expand and grow. Using projects is easier than managing relationships by hand in unplanned folders, scripts, text files, and your memory.
This tutorial begins with a simple project containing a single, empty code file.
-
In Visual Studio, select File > New > Project to open the New Project dialog. You can also use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+N. In the dialog, you can browse templates across different languages, select a template for your project, and specify where Visual Studio places files.
-
To view Python templates, select Installed > Python on the left menu, or search for “Python.” The search option is a great way to find a template when you can’t remember its location in the languages tree.
Python support in Visual Studio includes several project templates, including web applications using the Bottle, Flask, and Django frameworks. For the purposes of this walkthrough, however, let’s start with an empty project.
-
Select the Python Application template, specify a name for the project, and select OK.
-
In Visual Studio, select File > New > Project or use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+N. The Create a new project screen opens, where you can search and browse templates across different languages.

Python web support in Visual Studio includes several project templates, such as web applications in the Bottle, Flask, and Django frameworks. When you install Python with the Visual Studio Installer, select Python Web Support under Optional to install these templates. For this tutorial, start with an empty project.
-
Select the Python Application template, and select Next.
-
On the Configure your new project screen, specify a name and file location for the project, and then select Create.
After a few moments, your new project opens in Visual Studio:
Here’s what you see:
- (1) The Visual Studio Solution Explorer window shows the project structure.
- (2) The default code file opens in the editor.
- (3) The Properties window shows more information for the item selected in Solution Explorer, including its exact location on disk.
Detect your environment
Visual Studio shows all known environments in the Python Environments window. It automatically detects updates to existing interpreters.
If Visual Studio doesn’t detect an installed environment, see Manually identify an existing environment.
If you want to provide new forms of detection for Python environments, see PTVS Environment Detection (github.com).
Registry entries
Visual Studio (all versions) automatically detects each installed Python interpreter and its environment by checking the registry according to PEP 514 – Python registration in the Windows registry. Python installations are typically found under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Python (32-bit) and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Python (64-bit) key within nodes for the distribution, such as PythonCore (CPython) and ContinuumAnalytics (Anaconda).
Test your install
Quickly check your installation of Python support:
-
Launch Visual Studio.
-
Select Alt + I to open the Python Interactive window.
-
In the window, enter the statement
2+2
.The statement output
displays in the window. If you don’t see the correct output, recheck your steps.
Interactive window
For every Python environment known to Visual Studio, you can easily open the same interactive (REPL) environment for a Python interpreter directly within Visual Studio, rather than using a separate command prompt. You can easily switch between environments as well. To open a separate command prompt, select your desired environment in the Python Environments window, then select the Open in PowerShell command as explained earlier in the Support for multiple interpreters section.
Visual Studio also provides tight integration between the Python code editor and the Interactive window. The Ctrl+Enter keyboard shortcut conveniently sends the current line of code (or code block) in the editor to the Interactive window, then moves to the next line (or block). Ctrl+Enter lets you easily step through code without having to run the debugger. You can also send selected code to the Interactive window with the same keystroke, and easily paste code from the Interactive window into the editor. Together, these capabilities allow you to work out details for a segment of code in the Interactive window and easily save the results in a file in the editor.
Visual Studio also supports IPython/Jupyter in the REPL, including inline plots, .NET, and Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF).
