HOW TO CREATE NEW PYTHON PROJECT IN VS CODE (STEP BY STEP)
In this video, I will show you how to create a new python project in Visual Studio Code (VS Code) step by step.
Create a new Python project in Visual Studio Code:
Prerequisites:
o You have Python installed on your system.
o You also have installed the Python extension in VS Code.
1. Create a New Project Folder:
o Create a new folder on your computer where you want to store your Python project.
o You can name it something like my_python_project.
2. Open the Folder in VS Code:
o Open VS Code.
o Go to File, Open Folder... and select the folder you just created.
3. Set Up a Virtual Environment (Optional but Recommended):
o In the terminal, navigate to your project folder.
o Create a virtual environment by running python -m venv venv.
o Activate the virtual environment:
On Windows: .\venv\Scripts\activate
o Deactivate the virtual environment:
On Windows: deactivate
o Install any necessary packages using pip install package_name.
4. Configure the Python Interpreter:
o Press Ctrl+Shift+P to open the Command Palette.
o Type Python: Select Interpreter in the Command Palette.
o Select the interpreter from the list (make sure to select the one from your virtual environment if you set one up).
5. Create a New Python File:
o In the Explorer view (left sidebar), click on the New File icon or right-click in the folder and select New File.
o Name your file with a .py extension, for example, main.py.
6. Write Your Python Code:
o Open the newly created Python file and start writing your Python code.
7. Run Your Python Code:
o Click the play button (▶️) in the top-right corner of the editor. This will run the current Python file using the selected interpreter.
o Alternatively, open the terminal in VS Code (View, Terminal or `Ctrl+ J`).
o In the terminal, type python main.py (replace main.py with the name of your Python file) and press Enter.
