• Intellisense (autocompletion)
• Auto indenting
• Code formatting (autopep8, yapf, with config files)
• Renaming, Viewing references, and code navigation
• View signature and similar by hovering over a function or method
• Excellent debugging suppot (variables, arguments, expressions, watch window, stack information, break points, remote debugging, mutliple threads)
• Unit testing (unittest, pytest, nosetests, with config files)
• Sorting imports
• Snippets

##Issues and Feature Requests

Feature Details

• IDE Features

• Auto indenting
• Code navigation (Go to, Find all references)
• Code definition (Peek and hover definition, View Signature)
• Rename refactoring
• Sorting Import statements (use "Python: Sort Imports" command)

• Intellisense and Autocomplete

• Ability to include custom module paths (e.g. include paths for libraries like Google App Engine, etc)
• Use the setting python.autoComplete.extraPaths = []
• For instance getting autocomplete/intellisense for Google App Engine, add the following to your settings file:

"python.autoComplete.extraPaths": [
    "C:/Program Files (x86)/Google/google_appengine",
    "C:/Program Files (x86)/Google/google_appengine/lib" ]

• Code formatting

• Auto formatting of code upon saving changes (default to 'Off')
• Use either yapf or autopep8 for code formatting (defaults to autopep8)

• Linting

• It can be turned off (default is turn it on and use pylint)
• Multiple linters supported (along with support for configuration files for each linter)
• Supported linters include pylit, pep8, flake8, pydocstyle, prospector
• Paths to each of the linters can be optionally configured
• Custom plugins such as pylint plugin for Django can be easily used by modifying the settings as follows:

"python.linting.pylintArgs": ["--load-plugins", "pylint_django"]

• Debugging

• Watch window
• Evaluate Expressions
• Step through code (Step in, Step out, Continue)
• Add/remove break points
• Local variables and arguments
• Multiple Threads and Web Applications (such as Flask) (Windows and Mac)
• Expanding values (viewing children, properties, etc) (Windows and Mac)
• Conditional break points
• Remote debugging

• Unit Testing

• Support for unittests, nosetests and pytest
• Test results are displayed in the "Python" output window

• Snippets
