Hi,
since doing my summer internship I've been converted from atom to VS Code for web dev. This newfound appreciation has led me to want to try to use VS Code for more than just HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Prior to this point I'd used Atom for web dev, Pycharm for Python, IntelliJ for Java and Visual Studio for any .net stuff.

I've recently been trying to use VS Code for Python, I have installed the official Microsoft Python extension but honestly I've found the bare-bones features lacking, one annoyance is that you don't appear to be able to call functions in the python terminal like you can in Pycharm, another is lack of live error checking. Also, the experience has been quite buggy thus far (running python file in terminal often doesn't work). What extensions/tips can those of you that use VS Code for Python suggest to improve my experience?
Thanks 😁.
