Running python in vscode terminal

I want to run python on vscode terminal but when i try to do so i get the following:
I use the code runner extension and i am enabling 'run code in terminal'option.
It used to work for me, but i have tried recently to run python on windows terminal by copying the entire thing vscode generates in it's terminal when building the executable(the path and everything) and pasting it to windows terminal, didn't work.
This is what i pasted: C:\Users\Yan\AppData\Local\tmc\vscode\mooc-programming-22\part05-27_letter_square> python -u "c:\Users\Yan\AppData\Local\tmc\vscode\mooc-programming-22\part05-27_letter_square\src\letter_square.py"
Please tell how to fix this and if what i did is the cause, then tell me also how to run python on windows terminal without causing this problem.
The command pasted to the windows terminal has somehow created a file named "python" (with no extension) in the "System32" folder.
Delete the file and the problem is solved.

How can I run a file in VSCode in the Command Prompt

I do a lot of Python development and I need my files to open directly in Command Prompt when I run them. Is there a way I can set up VSCode to run the current file in Command Prompt instead of the integrated terminal?
Thanks.
In VS Code, its internal terminal is an integrated terminal from the system, and for Windows systems, it uses the Powershell terminal by default.
For use the "cmd" terminal inside VS Code, we can use the settings in "settings.json":
"terminal.integrated.shell.windows": "C:\\WINDOWS\\System32\\cmd.exe",
If you want to run code outside of VS Code, you can use it in "launch.json":
"console": "externalTerminal",
Then click F5 to debug the code:
Reference: Integrated Terminal in VS code.
Find where your program is saved either by opening the save position in visual studio code or you can try the default save position here C:\users{username}\AppData\Local\Programs\Microsoft VS Code (You may have changed this) In this directory then find your program you want to run if you made a virtual environment make sure to enable it with cd venv/Scripts/activate.bat (Windows) or . venv/bin/activate (Linux) these will open your venv then to actually run your program use python <FileName>.py
Your installations may be slightly different from the standard so please ask if you have any difficulty.

Is there a way that command prompt could run a python file from Visual Code Studio?

I was wondering if there is a way the command prompt could run a python file when I click the run button on visual code studio. Is that possible? Thanks in advance.
All you do is enter this into command prompt: PATH OF FILE. For example, if my file was hello.py in Documents, then I would type in C:/Documents/hello.py
Yes, that is possible (in fact, a lot of developers and learners do this) and it can be done by following these steps:-
Download and install Python on your system and add the bin folder to the path, environment variables. (Make sure to check the ADD PATH TO ENVIRONMENT option during the installation wizard)
Install Code Runner Extension from Extension tab in VSCode
Set the configuration of terminal in VSCode to Python
Ctrl+Shift+N is the hotkey to run the Python program in terminal in VSCode.
Following all the above steps, you will see the output in the terminal.

Why does python --version return nothing in the command prompt

I recently installed Python 3.7.9 for a class I am taking. I am able to run python code both through the windows command prompt and Visual Studio 2019. I was making sure everything was set up correctly. However, when i run the command python --version, it just enters a blank line. IS there something im supposed to do after installing python to set up my Command Prompt?
VS code pulls from the specified file path for each python version, so it will work regardless of if python has been added to your PATH.
Does it give you an error when you just type python into your CMD (not inside vs code)?
If it does then you need to add python to your PATH, details for this can be found here:How to add a folder to `Path` environment variable in Windows 10 (with screenshots)
and the folder paths you need are:
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37\Scripts\
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37\

Why can't my code run in Visual Studio Code?

I can't run my code in Visual Studio Code. When I type $ code hello.py then this happens:
Enter image description here
In the image you have used code hello.py. You should instead use python hello.py. You can run on the command prompt only if you had "Add Python to Path" checked while installing the Python software.
If you are on a Mac
In Mac, Python 2.7 is automatically installed. If you want to use Python 3 then you have to manually install from the Python official website and use python3 hello.py to use Python 3.
Always remember that a Python file will be run by using this command: python yourfile_name.py.
In your image you are trying to run your Python file with this command: code hello.py
Instead of using code hello.py, try to change it with python hello.py.
