Python in Visual Studio Code – February 2021 Release

Jeffrey Mew
Senior Product Manager

We are pleased to announce that the February 2021 release of the Python Extension for Visual Studio Code is now available. You can download the Python extension from the Marketplace, or install it directly from the extension gallery in Visual Studio Code. If you already have the Python extension installed, you can also get the latest update by restarting Visual Studio Code. You can learn more about Python support in Visual Studio Code in the documentation.

This release includes TensorBoard integration, and improvements on docstring readability and code navigation with Pylance. If you’re interested, you can check the full list of improvements in our changelog.

Python Extension Updates

TensorBoard Integration

We’re excited to launch TensorBoard integration within VS Code. TensorBoard is a data science companion dashboard that helps PyTorch and TensorFlow developers visualize their dataset and model training. With TensorBoard directly integrated in VS Code, you can spot check your models’ predictions, view the architecture of your model, analyze you model’s loss and accuracy over time, profile your code to find out where it’s the slowest, and much more!
