PTVS is a free, open source plugin that turns Visual Studio into a Python IDE.

PTVS 2.2 RC2 is now available for download from our Releases section. PTVS 2.1 is still available from CodePlex.

Visit our page on VisualStudio.com for an overview and videos, and check out our Getting Started series on YouTube.

Our documentation is now on the wiki (feel free to help us improve it), and we manage all of our issues here on the issue tracker. Pull requests and feature suggestions are welcome - see the Contributing section for information or chat with us on gitter though the button above.

Thank you for using and supporting Python Tools for Visual Studio.
