What is vscode-python?

A docker image based on https://github.com/cdr/code-server tailored for python programming.

It aims to provide a state-of-the-art IDE with some modules adapted to Python to help developers.

How to use it

To run a Python script in interactive mode, create a new file with .py extension, write some commands, e.g.

import pandas as pd
pd.DataFrame([0, 1, 2])

and press SHIFT + ENTER

If you need a package, e.g. flask, open a terminal and run

pip install flask

Everything is integrated within a conda environment. You can also use

conda install flask

in a terminal if you prefer.

You can also edit a Jupyter Notebook (extension .ipynb) file. The Jupyter extension as well as additional useful extensions (Git Lens among others) is available.

Please visit https://github.com/cdr/code-server to learn how to use this image.
