I couldn't find a good tutorial about using VSCode for Python development. I'd like to setup debugging, intellisense and the interactive shell, but the info is sparse. Do you have any suggestion?

I'm thinking of moving away from pycharm when this year runs out and moving to vs code + python. It has full debug, scm, virtualenv support (which was broken in pycharm 2016.x for a time) and intellisense. I would still use Brackets for html and css because I love quick-edit, the ability to edit a css rule or color by hovering and hitting ctl-e.
PyCharm community edition is very good. Maybe all the features aren't necessary. But VSCode would allow me to use it in other environments.
Did this tutorial not cover everything you needed for VSCode?

Also, not sure if you are on Windows, but regular VS + PyTools makes for a fantastic python IDE.
