Chapter 2. Python Tools in Visual Studio

Now that we have our tools up and running, we can start to take a deeper look into one of the most important features of PTVS: the intelligent code completion feature or IntelliSense of Visual Studio.

In this chapter, we will dig deeper into the automatic syntax and hierarchic analysis tools of Visual Studio that we can use with Python. Essentially, these are IntelliSense and navigation tools, which are really helpful for a Python developer during the coding process.

Furthermore, we will see how to maximize the capabilities of Visual Studio in conjunction with the inner REPL tool for quick and useful code testing and debugging.
