Today we have released the first preview of our next update to Visual Studio 2017. You will see a notification in Visual Studio within the next few days, or you can download the new installer from visualstudio.com.

In this post, we’re going to take a look at some of the new features we have added for Python developers. As always, the preview is a way for us to get features into your hands early so you can provide feedback and we can identify issues with a smaller (and hopefully more forgiving!) audience. If you encounter any trouble, please use the Report a Problem tool to let us know.
