Microsoft has launched the Python Data Science Extension Pack for Visual Studio Code (VS Code), a bundle of four extensions designed to simplify data science workflows for developers using the Python language. The pack includes the Python extension itself and another for GitHub Copilot, an AI-powered pair programmer tool.
The extension pack is now available in the VS Code section of the Visual Studio Marketplace, providing a one-stop shop for tools needed to prepare data, conduct analysis, visualize results, and build machine learning models.
Currently, the bundle features four extensions:
* Python: The official Python extension for VS Code
* GitHub Copilot: An AI-powered pair programmer tool that suggests code completions and helps with debugging
Microsoft plans to add more extensions to the bundle in the future. Developers can try out the extension pack on GitHub Codespaces, a cloud-hosted development environment, by signing in to their GitHub account.
To provide feedback about the extension pack, developers can visit the issues tab.
