Pre-PEP: Import name metadata As threatened promised, here is my next planned PEP (I havenโ€™t bothered making it an official PEP yet in case the idea is considered downright bad, which would save me writing the PoC and translating ...

Oops I did it again, I wrote a new PEP, got lost in the comments, oh coder, coder.
Oops, you thought I could stop, that I knew better, I'm not that intelligent.

So pumped about this new feature to support Django test coverage contributed by a community member! As someone who's not a Django expert, getting help from the community is amazing. Try it on the python pre-release now: github.com/microsoft/vs...

Playing around with Copilot for notebooks in @vscode.dev and the new feature I just added that lets you attach notebook cell outputs to chat. Nice to learn the real bottleneck these days is my typing speed ๐Ÿ˜…

No launch.json, no problem.

Python no-config debugging allows you to leverage debugging features in @code, without needing configurations in a launch.json

To use, open a terminal and type debugpy <script .py or module>
