Microsoft brings lots of new features and improvements to its popular open-source code editor, Visual Studio Code.

Microsoft updates its Python extension for VS Code with fixes for two security flaws and easier interpreter selection.

Among the improvements to Python functionality in the open source, cross-platform Visual Studio Code editor is a new start page highlighting the latest features, changes, tutorials and more.

VS Code supports code highlighting for Python without this extension. However, if you will be working with Python, you should install this extension.
