Introduction
In the world of software development, automation is key to speeding up the coding process. AWS CodeWhisperer is a tool that allows developers to generate code based on their environment, context, and comments. Not only does it save time, but it also helps avoid common errors. Today, we’ll explore how to use AWS CodeWhisperer to automatically generate Python code.

*What is AWS CodeWhisperer?
*
AWS CodeWhisperer is an AI-powered code generator integrated into popular IDEs such as VS Code, JetBrains, and AWS Cloud9. It analyzes your code context and provides auto-completion suggestions. Whether you need to generate functions, fix bugs, or write tests, AWS CodeWhisperer can help. Simply place your cursor where you want code suggestions, add a comment, and let CodeWhisperer do the rest.

*Example: Generating Code with AWS CodeWhisperer
*
Let’s look at an example where we want to generate a function to search for a user from a list.

`# TODO: place your cursor at the end of line 5 and press Enter to generate a suggestion.
# Tip: press Tab to accept the suggestion

fake_users = [
    { "name": "User 1", "id": "user1", "city": "San Francisco", "state": "CA" },]

def get_user_by_id(user_id):
    # Place your cursor here and press Enter. CodeWhisperer will automatically suggest the rest of the function.
`

*How Does It Work?
*
Step 1: Create your basic structure as shown above.
Step 2: Position your cursor at the end of line 5, where you want CodeWhisperer to generate code.
Step 3: Press 'Enter' or write a comment like # TODO: Complete the function, and CodeWhisperer will analyze the context and suggest code.
Step 4: Press Tab to accept the suggestion.
