Hi everybody! I'm making the javascript course and I'm using VS code. I've just start with Python, and I was wondering if I can use the console on my computer or in some way I can use VS code. The reason is because I have already set up VS code, so it auto-save, auto-complete, different colors, etc.
So I wanna bother you about the suggestions that you can give me. Thanks for your time!

After that create a hello.py file(the .py is important to create a Python file) and do a simple 'print('Hello World')'. Then, you'll right click on the code and click 'Run Python in Terminal'. At this point it will most likely tell you to install lint and you'll have to go through those steps as well. These are just one time initial set up steps. After that you'll be able to right click and run the code seamlessly. If my instructions aren't clear enough feel free to Google there's plenty available for first time set up!
