Visual Studio Code - 具有自动完成功能的 Python 交互式数据科学 REPL

Question

Since VS Code supports JupyterNotebooks natively with the Python extension ( https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/jupyter-support ) I like to launch the notebooks and see the outputs directly in VS Code.

The only issue I'm having with this is that the Python Interactive window is not that interactive, it just works to show the output of the cells.

Is there any way to allow autocomplete functionality in that console? Something more like an IPython console where I can hit Tab and see all the available options.

Answer 1

The answer is that this currently does not exist. The input box on the Interactive Windows is basically just a plain text input terminal (with colorization) currently. We do have a work item to track adding autocomplete here. If you want to watch or upvote that item it's located here: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-python/issues/4170
