Microsoft has updated the Python extension for its Visual Studio Code integrated development environment (IDE) to introduce support for editing in the web browser, thanks to the new Python language server, Pylance.
“We are delighted to announce that as of this release you can enjoy the performant editing experience of Pylance in the browser via github.dev,” shared Microsoft program manager Savannah Ostrowski.
Ostrowski shares that Microsoft has ensured that the extension supports all the core editing features, including semantic highlighting, syntax errors, code navigation, function signature help, contextual document highlighting, and more.
