How to run python programs in visual studio code in virtualenv

Question

I am currently running python programs in virtualenv but how can I run using visual studio code especially when run/debug is clicked. (Ubuntu)

First I need to be inside the environement this is what I run from terminal source ~/home/python/bin/activate and then python test.py where python is pointing to python3.5 in virtualenv

Basically I want to debug by using breakpoints.

Answer 1

please edit launch.json Add Configuration

{
            "name": "Attach (Remote Debug)",
            "type": "python",
            "request": "attach",
            "localRoot": "${workspaceRoot}",
            "remoteRoot": "${workspaceRoot}",
            "port": 3000,
            "secret": "my_secret",
            "host": "localhost"
},

Answer 2

Assuming you are using the donjayamanne.python plugin for Visual Studio Code you can set this in the User or Workspace Settings file (settings.json):

"python.pythonPath": "~/home/python/bin/python"

You can access the settings file in Visual Studio Code using File -> Preferences -> Settings.
