The language server allowed Microsoft to extract the highly touted Python IntelliSense from its flagship Visual Studio IDE and make it a portable, standalone product, recently bundled into the VS Code Python extension. The tools rely upon the Microsoft Python Language Server, also in preview, that provides the programming language "smarts" to IDEs and code editors for advanced IntelliSense/IntelliCode functionality. After those are installed, IntelliCode will download the latest machine learning model to provide the most relevant suggestions. Using the new AI-assisted technology requires installation of the Visual Studio IntelliCode - Preview extension and the wildly popular (more than 15 million installs) Python extension. Using our machine learning algorithm, IntelliCode can infer the most relevant completions based on the current code context." "However, there can be hundreds of completions to scroll through, and you typically need to type the first few characters out before you can get close to the right result. "When writing Python code, the IntelliSense code completion speeds up your productivity by providing suggestions as you type," a July 24 Visual Studio blog post said. Now, when a programmer types in a variable, the list of suggestions changes depending on the surrounding code. Python IntelliCode in Animated Action (source: Microsoft). Previously, with IntelliSense, a wide range of options would be presented, requiring manual winnowing down to find the desired choice. Its machine learning model is trained on more than 2,000 Python project repos, letting IntelliCode infer the correct code-completion suggestions from the context in which the code is being typed.īy using this advanced inference capability, IntelliCode predicts what a programmer is aiming for as a line of code is typed in, presenting the most likely code-completion options in the top its suggestion list, marked by stars. IntelliCode leverages machine learning algorithms to provide AI-assisted coding tips that go beyond regular IntelliSense code-completion hints. Python developers using Visual Studio Code are getting an AI-assisted boost from the editor's IntelliCode extension.
