An overview of the PTVS 2.0 beta feature for debugging Python and C/C++ together in one session in Visual Studio.
Linked whenever mixed Python and C++ debugging came up as a neat PTVS feature.

awesome tutorial. if you need a free Python IDE (based on VS) to try the exercises in, we just released PTVS 2.0 Beta: [LINK] . for you gurus, it's got a cool new feature: debugging Python & C++ together: this video
very nice! plug: if you happen to be on windows, try PTVS which has nice features like mixed-mode Python/C++ debugging as well cross debugging from Visual Studio <-> linux & MacOS. (it's a free plug-in). this video
If you want to get a feel for what PTVS is like, you can watch these short videos: [LINK] 10k foot view web page: [LINK] if you want to get a feel for an advanced feature, try: this video
Two highlights from the release notes: - Starting with VS2013, we’re happy to announce that PTVS is “in the box”. This means when you install Visual Studio, there is a an existing “Python” download link which will install PTVS for you. - Mixed-mode debugging! Alpha introduced remote debugging on Linux and MacOS. Beta introduces mixed Python and C/C++ debugging. Please refer to the documentation or this video: this video
mini ASK HN: would there be any interest in supporting Julia in Visual Studio? (as a free/oss plugin). i lead the Python Tools for Visual Studio project at msft and would be curious if there is interest. as a side note, if you do you use Python & require Python/C++ debugging, PTVS now supports it: this video
