I tried to run a python program in VS Code. But my program didn't run. The terminal opened and a weird arrow was there in the terminal. This is the screenshot of that.
This is the weird arrow and the program is not running. Any ideas why this is happening and how to fix it?
Thanks in advance.
Firstly, the arrows are included in the default python IDE means that VScode ran the command to execute your code. Give your pc a restart. Now, let us check if python is working or not or VS code is having some trouble. Type the following command in cmd to execute the code-
python "$PATH"
Rember to replace $PATH to the path of the file i.e where your file is stored. For eg. I've my python files stored in D drive in a python folder, so I'll use-
python "D:\Python\Hello.py"
If this works, python is working fine and if not, try reinstalling python and check the box which says Add python to Path or Environment variables. Then open VS code try to run the program again. But click the button only once and be patient because clicking it multiple times causes execute the same command again and cause a problem. It's my personal experience. Wait 5 minutes. Not works. Don't worry, there's a problem with the run extension you are using. I'll recommend the Code runner by Jun han. I personally use it. Type this in the extension search box-
formulahendry.code-runner
Install it and then try again.
Kill the terminal, and retry. If not work, restart the VSCode.

I was trying to run a code in vs code but the code didn't run and there is no error showing in the terminal. I made a new file and then tried to run a "Hello World!" but the code didn't run too. I uninstalled and re-installed vs code (three times) but that didn't work.
And when I say that there is no error showing I mean it. whenever I run the code nothing happens and vs code doesn't even give a hint or a sign that the code got executed or not.
First, you should understand that vscode is a lightweight editing
tool. If you want to run python files, first make sure you have
installed python correctly. You can enter command python --version
in the terminal to confirm it.
Then, please install python extension in the vscode extension store.
Then use shortcuts "Ctrl+Shift+P" and type "Python: Select
Interpreter" to choose the python interpreter.
Finally, creat *.py file and run it.
Read this docs for more details which can help you get started faster.
This appears every time I run a code from VS using zsh
The same happens even when I run it through the integrated terminal. This does not happen when I run the code in pycharm. How to fix this, please help.
Looks like you are debugging your code. The outputs maybe have related to the launch.json file. Could you create a new configuration and selected it to have a test again?
Or could you just right-click and select Run Python File in Terminal.
Im really quite new to coding and brand new to Python so apologies if this is a dumb question.
I'm writing basic scripts in VS Code and when I run them the result in the terminal is just..... ugly. Instead of just printing the result of my code, it prints details about my version of Windows, a little copyright notice, the full file path to my code... then eventually gets round to executing my actual code.
Is there any way for me to configure the terminal so that it just shows my code and not all the other bits? I've already seem about an extension called Code Runner, but this prints to the "Output" tab and doesn't allow any user input
If you are using PowerShell, you can add "args": ["-NoLogo"], like this to Hides the copyright banner at startup :
"terminal.integrated.defaultProfile.windows": "PowerShell",
"terminal.integrated.profiles.windows": {
"PowerShell": {
"source": "PowerShell",
"icon": "terminal-powershell",
"path": ["C:\\Windows\\System32\\WindowsPowerShell\\v1.0\\powershell.exe"],
"args": ["-NoLogo"],
}
},
And you also can change the value of console in the launch.json file. But internalConsole does not accept the user input. And externalTerminal will prompt a cmd window out of the VSCode.
Maybe you can try Jupyter code cells:
https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/jupyter-support-py
Try jupyter on visual studio code interface
https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/datascience/jupyter-notebooks
You have to follow these steps:
install python extension for vs code.
python extension
2.After installing reopen vs code and you will see a play button at right-top corner.
play button
3.Click that button and run your code!
go to settings
search for terminal
find Code-runner : Run in Terminal and turn that off.
I need help in solving this problem. The screenshot below is of the code line which is giving error. It involves f-string and I am using python 3.7.6 base:conda.
This is the error message that I am getting.
This is the interpreter I am using.
Please help me solve it. Thank you.
So this issue was based on a VS Code extension that I was using to run my code. It was 'Code Runner'.
Two things need to be done:
Change this in setting.json
code-runner.executorMap": {"python":"$pythonPath $fullFileName"}
Check "run in terminal" in settings for 'code-runner'.
If you are switching virtualenv in VSCode you have to quit from opened terminal (on linux ctrl-d) and launch it again. Interpreter is not going to change without so.
This apply only to VSCode terminal obviously. And I have no idea if this is only on Linux or on other platforms too.
Hi Even i was getting the same issue see the below screenshot and and make some changes in settings.json and launch.json and then refresh it, everything will be working fine.
I am trying to use Curses in PyDev in Eclipse in Win7.
I have installed Python 3.2 (64bit) and curses-2.2.win-amd64-py3.2. When I input the following testing codes into PyDev:
import curses
myscreen = curses.initscr()
myscreen.border(0)
myscreen.addstr(12, 25, "Python curses in action!")
myscreen.refresh()
myscreen.getch()
curses.endwin()
It did not show any syntax error, so I think the curses was installed correctly.
However, when I ran it as Python Run, the output showed: Redirection is not supported. I do not know where this problem comes from. I googled a lot but can't find related information.
Recent PyCharm versions (I am currently running 2017.2, not sure when this option was added, or if it has been there the entire time) have the option "Emulate terminal in output console". Curses works with this option checked.
You cannot expect to use curses with a non-terminal.
Probably you get this because you are running the script from inside an IDE, like PyCharm or any other.
All IDEs do provide consoles that are not terminals, so that's where the problem comes from.
For a Pycharm user the solution given by codeape works fine :
Snapshot
You can't use any IDE to run python files with the curses package. I used to run in pycharm and naturally couldn't run.
Change to the command line to run:
for testing follow my following steps
on desktop open notepad and copy paste the code and save it as filename.py
open command line change directory to desktop use below command cd Desktop and hit enter type python example.py and hit enter, your program will definitely run
My workaround is to create a Run Configuration that calls a curses script. The little overhead is worth not having to switch to the terminal and manually run the script hundreds of times a session. I use Intellij but I imagine the process should be similar in PyCharm.
The desired result is the convenience of a button to run the script:
First create a script that calls the entry script, for instance:
ptyhon name-of-script.py
Then, to create a configuration for each script:
Go to Edit configuration.
Click the plus button and add a Shell Script.
Enter the path to a shell script.
Here is a picture of a directory with a couple of sample scripts.
I use this process to view my progress. My curses scripts are very modest so fortunately I can live without a debugger.
