There is a python tool that runs the vscode tasks. The last commit was in 2018, but it still might work as it seems that the tasks were last changed in vscode 1.13, released in 2017.
edit:
It works but setup.py:8 needs to be edited to build the wheel on windows, as it tries to run a shell script. My edit was to change the line to log = subprocess.check_output('sh bin/changelog') as I have sh installed.
