How to open Python file to edit in Visual Studio Code from a terminal?

How can I open python file from the terminal of Ubuntu?

I mean, how can I open it and modify it on Visual Studio Code, instead of running it.

I tried the command:

python3 file.py 

But that just runs the program.

The Visual Studio Code executable is called code, simply call it with your python file.

code file.py 

Keep in mind that vscode is meant for managing whole projects, not just a single file.
