Afterwards, open Visual Studio Code and left-click on the Visual Studio Code interpreter shown in Visual Studio Code at the bottom left: Choose a virtual environment that pops up in a dropdown of the settings window, and you are done. Mind the answer of @RamiMa. But regardless enjoy this code as it will likely no longer be valid from Python 3.10 onward. Edit: Edited printing out the annotations dictionary, as I can just print annotations directly and don't need to look it up in locals. Given I'm ignoring VS Code for the main code example I'm not sure why I listened to it complaining here.

Standard plot

• Paste the following code in a python file
• Execute it (either selecting the code or using the Run cell code lens).
• The result is a static graph displayed in the Results window

Interactive Plot using D3js

• Paste the following code in a python file
• Execute it (either selecting the code or using the Run cell code lens).
• The result is an interactive displayed in the Results window
• Check here for more infor on D3js

Note: Hover the mouse over the graph and a toolbar should appear allowing you to interact with the graph

Interactive Plot using Bokeh

• Paste the following code in a python file
• Execute it (either selecting the code or using the Run cell code lens).
• The result is an interactive displayed in the Results window
• Check here for more info on Bokeh graphs

Note: Use the toolbar next to the graph image, to interact with the graph.

To comment out a line of code in Python, you can add a # before that line. So how to comment out a block of code in Python? If you have worked with some other programming language like Javascript, Dart … then you will be familiar with / * * / syntax. However, you cannot do that in Python.

To comment on a block of code in Python, you will have to prefix it with # line by line. If a block of code had hundreds of lines, it would be terrible.

Solution

Fortunately, if you use Visual Studio Code, commenting a block of code is really quick and easy. All you need to do is select that code block with your mouse, then press the following key combination:

Python With Visual Studio Code

• Ctrl + K then press Ctrl + C if you’re using Windows
• Command + K then press Command + C if you’re on a Mac

To uncomment a block of code, use your mouse to select it and then use the key combination:

• Ctrl + K then Ctrl + U if you’re on Windows
• Command + K then Command + U if you’re on a Mac

A Small Trick

If you don’t like the mentioned solution above, you can use the triple-quote trick to make a block of Python code not run. This action doesn’t actually comment out anything but only converts the code between the triple-quotes to a string.

Example:

The syntax for triple quotes consists of three consecutive single or double-quotes.

Python’s triple quotes come to the rescue by allowing strings to span multiple lines, including verbatim NEWLINEs, TABs, and any other special characters.
