• View signature and similar by hovering over a function or method
• Debugging with support for local variables, arguments, expressions, watch window, stack information, break points
• Debugging Multiple threads (Web Applications - Flask, etc) and expanding values (on Windows and Mac)
• Debugging remote processes (attaching to local and remote process)
• Debugging with support for shebang (windows)
• Debugging with custom environment variables
• Unit testing (unittests and nosetests, with config files)

##Issues and Feature Requests

• Support for Virtual Environments (in development)

Feature Details (with configuration)

• IDE Features

• Rename and navigate to symbols
• Go to, Peek and hover definition
• Find all references
• View Signature
• Sorting Import statements (use "Python: Sort Imports" command)

• Intellisense and Autocomplete

• Full intellisense
• Support for docstring
• 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

• Use either yapf or autopep8 for code formatting (defaults to autopep8)
• auutopep8 configuration files supported
• yapf configuration files supported

• Linting

• It can be turned off (default is turn it on and use pylint)
• pylint can be turned on/off (default is on), supports standard configuaration files
• pep8 can be turned on/off (default is off), supports standard configuaration files
• flake8 can be turned on/off (default is on), supports standard configuaration files
• Different categories of errors reported by pylint can be configured as warnings, errors, information or hits
• Path to pylint, pep8 and flake8 and pep8 can be configured
• Custom plugins such as pylint plugin for Django can be easily used by modifying the settings as follows:

"python.linting.pylintPath": "pylint --load-plugins pylint_django"

• Debuggging

• 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 breakpoints
• Remote debugging

• Unit Testing

• unittests (default is on)
• nosetests (default is off)
• Test resutls are displayed in the "Python" output window
• Future release will display results in a more structured manner integrated into the IDE

• Snippets
