Visual Studio For Mac

Visual Studio for Mac is a completely different product compared to Visual Studio (Windows). It's based on Xamarin Studio and lacks support for many of the classic.NET project types. It's based on Xamarin Studio and lacks support for many of the classic.NET project types. Visual Studio Express is a stripped-down version of Visual Studio for students and hobbyists, first introduced with Visual Studio 2005 and discontinued with Visual Studio 2015. Originally, it consisted of several editions, each of which targeted a single programming language. Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2013 for Windows Desktop - ENU with Update 5 is a program developed by Microsoft. The main program executable is wdexpress_full.exe. The setup package is about 5.25 MB (5,502,663 bytes) when donwloaded.

Python is a popular programming language that is reliable, flexible, easy to learn, free to use on all operating systems, and supported by both a strong developer community and many free libraries. Python supports all manners of development, including web applications, web services, desktop apps, scripting, and scientific computing, and is used by many universities, scientists, casual developers, and professional developers alike. You can learn more about the language on python.org and Python for Beginners.

Visual Studio is a powerful Python IDE on Windows. Visual Studio provides open-source support for the Python language through the Python Development and Data Science workloads (Visual Studio 2017 and later) and the free Python Tools for Visual Studio extension (Visual Studio 2015 and earlier).

Python is not presently supported in Visual Studio for Mac, but is available on Mac and Linux through Visual Studio Code (see questions and answers).

Follow the Work with Python in Visual Studio tutorial for a full end-to-end experience.

Note

Visual Studio supports Python version 2.7, as well as version 3.5 and greater. While it is possible to use Visual Studio to edit code written in other versions of Python, those versions are not officially supported and features such as IntelliSense and debugging might not work.

Support for multiple interpreters

Visual Studio's Python Environments window (shown below in a wide, expanded view) gives you a single place to manage all of your global Python environments, conda environments, and virtual environments. Visual Studio automatically detects installations of Python in standard locations, and allows you to configure custom installations. With each environment, you can easily manage packages, open an interactive window for that environment, and access environment folders.

Use the Open interactive window command to run Python interactively within the context of Visual Studio. Use the Open in PowerShell command to open a separate command window in the folder of the selected environment. From that command window you can run any python script.

For more information:

Rich editing, IntelliSense, and code comprehension

Visual Studio provides a first-class Python editor, including syntax coloring, auto-complete across all your code and libraries, code formatting, signature help, refactoring, linting, and type hints. Visual Studio also provides unique features like class view, Go to Definition, Find All References, and code snippets. Direct integration with the Interactive window helps you quickly develop Python code that's already saved in a file.

Interactive window

For every Python environment known to Visual Studio, you can easily open the same interactive (REPL) environment for a Python interpreter directly within Visual Studio, rather than using a separate command prompt. You can easily switch between environments as well. (To open a separate command prompt, select your desired environment in the Python Environments window, then select the Open in PowerShell command as explained earlier under Support for multiple interpreters.)

Visual Studio also provides tight integration between the Python code editor and the Interactive window. The Ctrl+Enter keyboard shortcut conveniently sends the current line of code (or code block) in the editor to the Interactive window, then moves to the next line (or block). Ctrl+Enter lets you easily step through code without having to run the debugger. You can also send selected code to the Interactive window with the same keystroke, and easily paste code from the Interactive window into the editor. Together, these capabilities allow you to work out details for a segment of code in the Interactive window and easily save the results in a file in the editor.

Visual Studio also supports IPython/Jupyter in the REPL, including inline plots, .NET, and Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF).

Project system, and project and item templates

Note

Visual Studio 2019 supports opening a folder containing Python code and running that code without creating Visual Studio project and solution files. For more information, see Quickstart: Open and run Python code in a folder. There are, however, benefits to using a project file, as explained in this section.

Visual Studio helps you manage the complexity of a project as it grows over time. A Visual Studio project is much more than a folder structure: it includes an understanding of how different files are used and how they relate to each other. Visual Studio helps you distinguish app code, test code, web pages, JavaScript, build scripts, and so on, which then enable file-appropriate features. A Visual Studio solution, moreover, helps you manage multiple related projects, such as a Python project and a C++ extension project.

Project and item templates automate the process of setting up different types of projects and files, saving you valuable time and relieving you from managing intricate and error-prone details. Visual Studio provides templates for web, Azure, data science, console, and other types of projects, along with templates for files like Python classes, unit tests, Azure web configuration, HTML, and even Django apps.

Full-featured debugging

One of Visual Studio's strengths is its powerful debugger. For Python in particular, Visual Studio includes Python/C++ mixed-mode debugging, remote debugging on Linux, debugging within the Interactive window, and debugging Python unit tests.

In Visual Studio 2019, you can run and debug code without having a Visual Studio project file. See Quickstart: Open and run Python code in a folder for an example.

Profiling tools with comprehensive reporting

Profiling explores how time is being spent within your application. Visual Studio supports profiling with CPython-based interpreters and includes the ability to compare performance between different profiling runs.

For more information:

Docs: Python profiling tools
General Visual Studio feature docs: Profiling Feature Tour. (Not all Visual Studio profiling features are available for Python).

Unit testing tools

Discover, run, and manage tests in Visual Studio Test Explorer, and easily debug unit tests.

Azure SDK for Python

The Azure libraries for Python simplify consuming Azure services from Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux apps. You can use them to create and manage Azure resources, as well as to connect to Azure services.

For more information, see Azure SDK for Python and Azure libraries for Python.

Questions and answers

Q. Is Python support available with Visual Studio for Mac?

A. Not at this time, but you can up vote the request on Developer Community. The Visual Studio for Mac documentation identifies the current types of development that it does support. In the meantime, Visual Studio Code on Windows, Mac, and Linux works well with Python through available extensions.

Q. What can I use to build UI with Python?

A. The main offering in this area is the Qt Project, with bindings for Python known as PySide (the official binding) (also see PySide downloads) and PyQt. At present, Python support in Visual Studio does not include any specific tools for UI development.

Q. Can a Python project produce a stand-alone executable?

A. Python is generally an interpreted language, with which code is run on demand in a suitable Python-capable environment such as Visual Studio and web servers. Visual Studio itself does not at present provide the means to create a stand-alone executable, which essentially means a program with an embedded Python interpreter. However, the Python community supplied different means to create executables as described on StackOverflow. CPython also supports being embedded within a native application, as described on the blog post, Using CPython's embeddable zip file.

A few weeks ago, I made a post on using Oracle VirtualBox to run Windows 8 in a Virtual machine on a Mac laptop. This is a great scenario for easily virtualizing a Windows 8 development environment or just because you want to have Windows 8 on your Mac.

For this post, we are going to show four things -

Main Document: How to use BootCamp to run Windows 8 natively on the Mac hardware. This has the added benefit of giving Windows 8 access to all hardware resources without any virtualization layer. This should provide the best hardware compatibility and accessibility you can find. Plus you keep your Mac OS install for dual-boot.

Appendix A: Installing and Configuring Windows 8

Appendix B: Installing the developer Tools and SDK

Appendix C: Getting Started with Visual Studio 2012

If you are unfamiliar with installing Boot Camp on the Mac, there are several YouTube videos available (like this one watch this YouTube video), as well as many additional resources online. You can also check this Boot Camp resource here http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/

These instructions below is a compressed set of steps to get up started with Windows 8 on Boot Camp.

1. Create a bootable Windows 8 DVD from a Windows 8 ISO.	You will need to download or acquire Windows 8. You can download a free 90 days evaluation version of Windows 8 from the Evaluation Center. Please note that this version will expire and is not upgradeable. You can also elect to purchase a fully licensed upgrade Windows 8 at retail. If you or your company happen to be MSDN subscribers, you can get the RTM version of Windows 8 from the MSDN Subscriber Downloads page. To learn how to create a Windows 8 Bootable DVD check these Bing results.
2. Run Finder.
3. Navigate to Application \| Utilities and RunBootCamp Assistant.	Get latest Boot Camp here http://support.apple.com/downloads/#bootcamp
4. Follow the Wizard Instructions.
5. On Select Tasks select both options.	Windows 8 is officially not supported by Boot Camp. Proceed with the installation.
6. Select where to save the Windows Support Software.	USB drive recommended. You will need to install this software after Windows installs and is running.
7. Login with your OSX User and Password.
8. Create partition for Windows. Although 20 GB is enough space to install Windows 8, it is highly recommended that you allocate at least 30 GB (or more) if you plan to install other programs such as Visual Studio Express for Windows 8. If you will also be installing Visual Studio Express for Windows Phone, then allocate at least 40 GB.	Move the slider to change the drive size to the recommended 40 GB
9. The partitioning process will start.	This process will take a few minutes.
10. Install Windows 8.	See Appendix A: Installing and configuring Windows 8
11. Install Windows Support Software.
12. Select I accept the terms in the license agreement, and then click Next.
13. Ensure Apple Software Update For Windows is selected, and then click Install.
14. Install Windows Support Software.	From within Windows 8, open the location where you saved the Windows Support Software and run setup.exe. This process will install all pertinent Windows 8 drivers to work properly within Windows 8. This process will take a few minutes to complete and your screen may flicker.
15. Once installation is complete, click Finish and then Yes to the reboot prompt.
16. Install Visual Studio 2012 tools.	See Appendix B: Installing the developer tools and SDK
17. Getting Started with Visual Studio Resources.	See Appendix C: Getting Started with Visual Studio
18. To boot to Mac OS, from Start page type control panel, double-click Control Panel from the search results and then double-click Boot Camp. Select Macintosh HD and then click Restart.
