Is this Windows only? I downloaded VS 2017 on OS X and the installer does not show the option "Web & Cloud > Python Development" as described in this link[0].

Visual Studio for Mac is a lie, mostly. It has nothing to do with Visual Studio, I doubt they share any code. If they do, it's very little and very recent.

VS Mac doesn't support VS extensions. And a lot of other VS things.

They share code, but only at the core. Check out the Visual Studio for Mac thread for more details:

Basically, it's not a full port, and it's probably not ever going to be, but they're trying to gradually make them more alike in terms of features.

In that regard they had to start somewhere, and as such, .NET was the obvious candidate for a first release.

VS for Mac is a rebranded MonoDevelop IDE (former Xamarin company) http://www.monodevelop.com/

Parts of MonoDevelop, not just a rebrand. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14309709
