I'm collaborating with some fellow students to build a python app, and was hoping to use the 'training wheels' of Visual Studio intelli-sense. They use python on mac and linux, so ideally our source control repo would consist of just *.py source files that we wrote, and a requirements.txt export of pip dependancies (using the pip freeze method).
I would love to be able to create a new Visual Studio project, then be able to run the following commands (for instance) within that project:
And after that, be able to write some code that references these libraries and be able to run it from within Visual Studio.
Is there any way to do this? Is Python within Visual Studio even able to handle modules in the format they are available within pip, or do all python libraries used in VS have to have been pre-compiled for Windows?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Yep! Go to Tools ->Python Tools ->Python Environments.
This will open a new pane where you can select pip from the menu (it will say Overview by default) and then you can enter your module and double click to install.
Some packages have complex dependencies, and you might need to install them manually from these links:
numpyhttp://sourceforge.net/projects/numpy/files/NumPy/scipyhttp://sourceforge.net/projects/scipy/files/scipy/Matplotlibhttp://matplotlib.org/downloads.htmlPandashttp://pandas.pydata.org/getpandas.html
On VS 2017, switch to the 'solution explorer' and right click as indicated:
From the mention of Visual Studio, it sounds like you're using Python Tools for Visual Studio. If so, then support for pip, easy_install and virtualenv is one of the new features in PTVS 2.0 beta - get it and give it a try. Once you add an interpreter reference to your project, you'll find commands to install a package in context menu for that interpreter in Solution Explorer.
This way, you also do not have to set up pip yourself, since PTVS will do it for you the first time you try to install a package.
Pavel MinaevPavel MinaevYes you can, here is a simple guide taken from here https://zignar.net/2012/06/17/install-python-on-windows/
Before you can install Pip, you'll need setuptools or distribute. If you're using Python3, you must use distribute as setuptools doesn't support Python 3.x
To install distribute download the setup file here https://pypi.python.org/pypi/distribute/0.6.27 and invoke it using python.
python.exe C:Pathtodistribute_setup.py
Python Tools Visual Studio 2013
Now that distribute is installed, Pip can also be installed. Download get-pip.py here https://raw.github.com/pypa/pip/master/contrib/get-pip.py and invoke it in the same way you invoked distribute_setup:
python.exe c:Pathtoget-pip.py
After that Pip is installed. But you might want to add C:Python32Scripts to the Path Systemvariable too (see step 1). So you can execute pip.exe from any location.
When you install Python support with Visual Studio, the PIP executable can be found in C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft Visual StudioSharedPython36_64ScriptsIf it isnt there, type the following at a command prompt to find out Pythons install locationpy --locationThen either add the location to path, or run pip with the full path from powershell. 'C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft Visual StudioSharedPython36_64Scriptspip.exe' install pillow
and you can set your path to pip like this:
Run set PATH='C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft Visual StudioSharedPython36_64'

Contents
Debuggers
Name | Platform | Notes |
All | The standard library debugger, part of all Python installations. | |
Unix,Mac OS X | A visual, console-based, full-screen debugger, designed as a more comfortable drop-in replacement for pdb. (also supports IPython) | |
All | A .pdbrc for Python's standard debugger, pdb, which allows you to run arbitrary Python commands on pdb startup. | |
Windows | A python IDE with remote debugging capability. | |
Unix,Linux,Windows | An advanced python debugger, with support for smart breakpoints, multiple threads, namespace modification, embedded debugging, encrypted communication and speed of up to 20 times that of pdb. | |
Unix, Windows,Mac OS X | (Predecessor of rpdb2 and winpdb) rpdb.py improves pdb's usability and adds support for remote debugging, multiple threads debugging, post mortem of unhandled exceptions, and for debugging of embedded scripts. | |
Mac OS X, OS/2, Unix, VMS and Windows | Both a CPYTHON and a JPYTHON(JYTHON) debugging framework which has been integrated inside Jedit as a standard jedit pluggin. | |
Unix, Windows, OS X | An expanded version of pdb loosely based on the gdb command set. The debugger supports thread debugging, signal handling, non-interactive tracing, and much more. | |
Unix | pdb extension with curses module that adds console window with source code. | |
Unix | Graphical front-end for command-line debuggers such as GDB, DBX, WDB, Ladebug, JDB, XDB, the Perl debugger, the bash debugger, GNU Make debugger, or the Python debugger. DDD displays data structures as graphs and plots. A deprecated version of pydb comes with this package. For GNU make debugging, use ddd-test5 | |
Unix,Windows | Debugger for Python programs with a graphical user interface. It uses bdb (part of stdlib) but adds a GUI and has some powerful features like object browser, windows for variables, classes, functions, exceptions, stack, conditional breakpoints, etc. | |
gdb | *nix | See DebuggingWithGdb |
*nix, Windows | Pyclewn allows you to use Vim as a front end to a debugger. Pyclewn currently supports gdb and pdb. | |
trepan2, trepan3k | Unix, Windows, Mac OS X | A rewrite of pydb with closer compliance to gdb . In addition to the features of pydb, the debugger supports syntax coloring (via pygments), has extensive on-line help (in rendered reStructuredText), command completion, a smarter eval, debugger macros written in Python, and more. |
Unix, Windows, Mac OS X | An extension of the pdb module of the standard library. It is meant to be fully compatible with its predecessor, yet it introduces a number of new features to make your debugging experience as nice as possible. | |
Unix, Windows, Mac OS X | A set of debugging decorators which respects Django's settings in case the package is withing a Django project. It allows a user to PDB into a function, do a Line profiler, inspect an object and Disasemble the function. |

Remote process inspector (using an active component, a thread). | |
A flexible code tracing toolkit. Can print out code and variables, and filter the events. | |
Sweet and creamy print debugging -- inspect variables, expressions, and code execution with a single, simple function call. | |
Graphical Python debugger which lets you easily view the values of all evaluated expressions | |
Provides two utilities: show: a lightweight function that prints name and value of your variable(s) to the console, and peep: featured, interactive interface for data inspection. | |
Never use print for debugging again. PySnooper is a poor man's debugger. If you can't use a real debugger for some reason or other, and you're resorting to adding print statements to your code, this is for you. Add just one decorator line to your functions, and you get a complete log of all the lines that ran in the function and all the variables that were changed. |
