# D. Setting up Python in VS Code

First, general stuff.

1. Customize VS Code [appearance](appearance.md), including window/font size.

2. Deal with [telemetry settings](telemetry.md).

3. Install [version control helpers](versioncontrol.md).

4. Install [spell checkers and set them up](spellcheck.md).

Second, Python-specific settings.

5. Select the [Python environment](environment.md) and install Python development dependencies.

6. Set up [formatting](formatting.md).

7. Decide on [line length](linelength.md).

[Type checking](../types/index.md) is discussed in another section.
