By following these step-by-step instructions, you can easily add a Python interpreter to Visual Studio Code, enabling seamless Python development within the editor environment.

The new interpreter will run Python programs as much as 5% faster, with no changes to existing code required. A beta of Python 3.14 is due in May.

Official support for free-threaded Python, an experimental JIT, and a smarter installation manager for Windows are among the goodies in Python 3.14. Now in a release candidate.
