如何在 Visual Studio Code 1.44.2 中打开交互式 shell/REPL？

Question

I'm using Visual Studio Code, and I'd like to have a REPL that I can run single Python instructions in. I've found some year-old Microsoft documentation on this that says select the View > Other Windows > Interactive menu item, but there is no Other Windows item in my version of VS Code (1.44.2).

Does VS Code have a REPL feature, or do I have to run python.exe directly from the Terminal pane?

Answer 1

You are looking at the wrong documentation. That's for Visual Studio , not Visual Studio Code . They are annoyingly similarly named, which can be confusing, but they are two completely different IDEs.

The correct docs for VS Code is here:
https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/languages/python

There is a section for running Python codes on the Terminal:
https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/languages/python#_run-python-code

I don't know about REPL, but you can use the standard Python console.

1. Install the Python extension for VS Code
2. Setup and select the correct Python environment
   • Open the Command Palette then " Python: Select Interpreter "
3. Next, highlight the line you want to run, then right-click
4. Select the Run Selection/Line in Python Terminal
5. It should open up a Terminal panel and run your code in Python console
6. You can then keep right-clicking > Run and it will execute on the same session

There's also an option to run the entire file.
See the Run Python Code section of the docs for more info.
