This documentation explains how to use the development container for Python in Visual Studio Code integrated development environment (IDE).
The development container specification defines a standard for any development tool to use a container as a full-featured development environment.
Follow these simple steps to get started:
- Install Visual Studio Code or Visual Studio Code Insiders.
- Add the Remote Development extension pack to your Visual Studio Code.
- Install and configure Docker for your operating system.
Once done, open the project folder of this repository in Visual Studio Code. Then, press F1 or Ctrl+Shift+P to bring up the Command Palette and type Dev Containers: Reopen in Container to start your development environment.
The first time you open the dev containers, the Docker container will be built, and Python dependencies will be installed.
