Microsoft released the April April Visual Studio Code Python extension update , which includes ipywidgets support in Jypyter Notebooks and debugger support for Django and Flask auto-reload.
Ipywidgets support in Jypyter Notebooks
The new version supports all ipywidgets (including custom ones) in Jupyter Notebooks in VS Code. This means that all interactive plotting libraries (such as beakerX, bqplot, etc.) can be interacted and visualized with data in Notebooks and VS Code.
Debugger support for automatic reloading of Django and Flask
In the March release of the Python extension, a new Python debugger, debugpy, was introduced. Now, it supports real-time reloading of web applications such as Django and Flask. When editing an application, you can apply it without restarting the debugger. After saving the changes, the web server will be automatically reloaded in the same debugging session.
