We're pleased to announce the release of Python Tools for Visual Studio - RC 2.
Python Tools for Visual Studio (PTVS) is an open-source plug-in for Visual
Studio which supports programming with the Python programming language. PTVS is
released under the Apache License, 2.0. This release includes the core features
you'd expect from most IDEs including:
Advanced code modeling which enable intellisense, finding references,
and goto definition.
Supports for common refactorings such as rename variable and extract
method
Support for debugging and profiling Python applications
Integrated IPython REPL support for interactive development and
interactive cluster development
Support for MPI cluster debugging including automatic deployment to the
cluster
PTVS supports working with your Python distribution of choice - whether that's
the standard Python distribution, an alternate packaging of CPython such as
Enthought Python Distribution or ActivePython, or a completely different Python
implementation such as IronPython or PyPy. PTVS supports all versions of Python
from 2.5 through 3.2 - so no matter what Python you're likely to find it
supported. In addition to supporting any Python implementation PTVS contains
integrated support for IronPython including drag and drop GUI support and
enhanced intellisense when working with .NET APIs.
This release includes only minor bug fixes for issues reported against RC1 and
discovered via our own internal testing. This is planned to be the last release
candidate before releasing 1.0 final. A complete list of issues fixed for this
release is available here: http://bit.ly/PTVS-fixed-issues-RC2
We'd like to thank all of the users who took the time to report issues and
feedback: andresmac, AphexSA, bkadamgk, cendalc, cyberchand, flyingfether,
JulesJacobs, lundebro, Tiphon, and xavier_grundus.
Thanks,
The Python Tools for Visual Studio Team
