I'm using Visual Studio Code to do some Python development over SSH. The project is in a virtualenv, so many packages are not available system-wide, so for autocomplete to fully work VSCode needs to recognize the virtual environment. For some reason I thought this would be more complicated than it is: when selecting the Python interpreter, pick the python symlink inside the virtualenv's bin folder. I also enabled the "Activate Env In Current Terminal" so the shell in the Terminal tab would be immediately ready to go. VSCode doesn't consistently display the environment as a virtualenv in the status bar, at least over SSH, but autocomplete picked up the libraries.
