        // Place your snippets for python here. Each snippet is defined under a snippet name and has a prefix, body and
        // description. The prefix is what is used to trigger the snippet and the body will be expanded and inserted. Possible variables are:
        // $1, $2 for tab stops, $0 for the final cursor position, and ${1:label}, ${2:another} for placeholders. Placeholders with the
        // same ids are connected.
        // Example:
        // "Print to console": {
        //      "prefix": "log",
        //      "body": [
        //              "console.log('$1');",
        //              "$2"
        //      ],
        //      "description": "Log output to console"
        // }
