Then there is speed, while powershell core is way faster than it’s predecessor, it can’t hold a candle to python. Don’t get me wrong powershell is my favorite shell and my preferred scripting language for ci/cd glue, yes powershell is better in every way than bash and zsh, but when writing anything more Reply reply OathOfFeanor •
Python sits somewhere between PowerShell and C# when it comes to the kind of projects it's good for, roughly tied with JavaScript. It isn't a shell -- there's definitely more programming than scripting -- but you don't need to go all the way to a csproj and build step.
What are the advantages of Python, PowerShell, and other scripting environments? We would like to standardize our scripting and are currently using bat and cmd files as the standard. I think Python
The terminal in VS Code by default uses PowerShell or PS. If you are mostly coding in python and switching environments frequently ,set the default terminal to CMD:
I am using Visual Studio Code on my Windows 10 PC. I want to change my default terminal from 'Windows PowerShell' to 'Python' (on Windows). Someone help me solve this issue.
Python has its own set of unconventional (aka weird) things, I don't feel like PowerShell is significantly more unusual. PowerShell has a lot of the classic programming constructs like curly braces, do-while-loops, optional static typing, classic for-loops etc.
I'm working with fresh installations of VSCode and Python 3.11. the commands python and pip are both recognized in the Window's powershell and command prompts. However, when I swap to VSCode, neither
Command Prompt or Powershell for Python 3 I just started learning Python 3 recently and the course I'm learning it from "Python for Everybody by Dr. Charles Severace". In the lessons, he uses Command Prompt to run his code. I've also heard that Powershell is basically the same thing as CP, just that it can do more.
If you've spent a lot of time optimizing your powershell scripts, rewriting them in Python means spending that time over. In broad strokes there are similarities like using indexes that apply in perl, python and powershell, knowing how to optimize scripts and avoid memory churn pitfalls is something you need to relearn.
