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.

Not an answer to your question but Scrapy has some interactive debugging functionality that may be useful for you. — VMRuiz

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.

The link for ubuntu now points to a Bitcoin website. Please always give an explanation instead of just liking. Websites are not permanent.
