Question

Using Python in Visual Studio 2019 Community Edition

srfpala 111

Given the popularity of Python, is there a team working on Python for Visual Studio Community Edition ?

If so, is there a plan to provide a Design View feature that would allow controls to be drag & dropped on a Panel or Form ? This would be similar to the design view and toolbox used in C#.

BTW I couldn't find a Python Tag. What am I missing?

The popularity of Python does not make it a compelling reason to enable Python/WinForms (a Windows only mixture).

Microsoft used to have IronPython and WinForms, but spin it off as an open source project on its own, https://www.google.com/search?q=ironpython+Winforms&oq=ironpython+Winforms&aqs=edge..69i57j0i22i30l3.5749j0j1&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

Microsoft's own Python team is more focusing on the common Python stacks (cross platform) on top of Azure/Visual Studio/Visual Studio Code.
