Fix up Python extension recommendations #15

Open SaschaCowley opened 1 month ago

SaschaCowley commented 1 month ago

Currently, our extensions.json lists both ms-python.python and ms-python.vscode-pylance, despite the fact that the Python extension installs Pylance by default. Since the extension works best with the Python Debugger extension installed, we should either:

  1. Remove the explicit recommendation of Pylance, and just rely on the other extensions recommended by the Python extension; or
  2. Add Python Debugger to the recommendations to make our recommendation explicit.

Is the python debugger extension useful/accessible?

michaelDCurran commented 1 month ago

Is the python debugger extension useful/accessible? Absolutely. It is required to run debug sessions in VS Code for Python projects, including break points, call stacks, watching variables, runtime execution of Python code within the debugged process.

As Mick has said, yes. Additionally it's required (if you want to debug Python) for the remote debugging method I'm writing up. I can open a PR to include everything required for that method (launch.json and changes to extensions.json) all at once if that's preferable.
