Hi,
I was trying to create a project in MakeCode Arcade using Visual Studio Code and Python, and noticed that this does not seem to be working.
In web-browser editor it seems that changes made in python are automatically translated to typescript and vice-versa.
Is it possible at all to use only python when coding for MakeCode Arcede in Visual Studio Code?
Thanks

Even in the web-project explorer, there is a “Thrash” icon to remove the main.py file, but not the main.ts file.
When I copy/open the sources in Visual Studio Code, and remove the “main.ts” file (so I only leave corresponding main.py in project), even after updating pxt.json/tsconfig.json code is not working in simulator.
When I leave only main.ts it is working as expected.
