I've installed VSC and added to it the C/C++ and CodeRunner extensions, and it all worked perfectly. I've set CodeRunner to run in Terminal and I haven't done much else to the settings.
However, I installed the Python extension now, and the CodeRunner 'Run' button displays 2 options when I click it: Run Code and Run Python File in Terminal. When I was running a C program previously, one click on 'Run' would do it.
Is there any way to eliminate the extra options when running Python code? Essentially, I just want the program to execute with one click on 'Run'. Seems like the code executes regardless of the option I choose. (See the attached picture). Thank you.
Reason:
In VS Code, the green run button provided by the "Python" extension is to execute the command "Run Python File in Terminal". It only requires us to click once to run python files in the Terminal of VS Code:
When we also use the extension "Code Runner", the run button ("Run Code") provided by it defaults to output results in "OUTPUT". In the previous use, this button will cover the green button provided by the "python" extension, but now that they are integrated, we can choose the execution method.
For setting "code-runner.runInTerminal": false, it determines whether the "code runner" runs in the "Terminal", the commands they execute are different:
"Run Code"：python -u "/python_file.py"
"Run Python File in Terminal": /python.exe /python_file.py
Solution: You could use F5 to debug the code or try to close the "Code Runner" extension. (Click "Enable" to restore the use of the extension.)

By default, running a .py file through VSCode Code Runner executes the program in the VSCode integrated terminal:
I would like it to do exactly what it does in the integrated terminal, but launch the code through a separate Windows command prompt, like PyCharm.
If I go into settings.json in VSCode, I could change "code-runner.runInTerminal": true, to false, it will execute the code in the output tab instead of terminal tab.
This doesn't help me much.
From settings.json I can change:
to:
This executes the program in the external terminal I want, but it has some serious drawbacks. For one, I have to add input() at the end of my code every time in order for it not to automatically close. The bigger problem is that if I have some kind of logical error in my code, it won't show me any type of error message; just closes the command prompt.
Is there any way to have the code execute in an external Windows command prompt, show all error messages (either in VSCode or terminal itself), and have the terminal require input to close without needing the input() function at the end of my code?
You can open windows terminal/command prompt from the start menu, navigate to your python file and use the same python command to run the python file that you used in VSCode.

You won't need to add "input()" to your code and you will also get tracebacks.

The thing is that, it never asked me this before, is there a way to fix this? Because clicking 2 times the start button to run the program is a little annoying. Thanks!
In VS Code, the green run button provided by the "Python" extension is to execute the command "Run Python File in Terminal". It only requires us to click once to run python files in the Terminal of VS Code:
If you also use other extensions, such as: "Code Runner", the run button ("Run Code") provided by it defaults to output results in "OUTPUT". In the previous use, this button will cover the green button provided by the "python" extension, but now that they are integrated, we can choose the execution method.

Today i opened my vscode editor and i saw that the code runner icon had disappeared despite that it was installed. I could only see the default run code option. Please help me solve it, I also tried uninstalling and installing the extension again and also did the same with vscode but the problem still persists![the run option os of default vscode not coderunner][1]
Go to the extensions and then search for code runner after this install it and then it will appear.
This button does not disappear, but is integrated with the original "Run Python file in Terminal" button in the Python file. Click this button and it will display two run options: "Run Code" provided by Code Runner extension and "Run Python file in Terminal" provided by Python extension.
Check the pyhon ... program language version and select the correct one if you are using several different versions.
I am really new to Python and just started the course "Python 3 basics by Sendtex (Link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfzlCWGWYyIQ0aLC5w48gBQ)".
I am trying to use Python with Visual Studio Code.
The downloaded version of Python is 3.6.4.
I have installed the Python extension in Visual Studio Code and have followed the procedure.
However, I am not able to get any output. Below is the attached screenshot.
If I select Python it enters debugging mode. So, there isn't any output.
Using the Python Extension Run/Debug commands
Notes
I recommend reviewing the official Visual Studio Code Python documentation and tutorial. That provides several of the basics, with running and debugging the "official" way.
There are multiple ways to configure built-in launches:
When running or debugging Python in VS Code, there are a few options that you can change in your "launch.json" file. See this answer for more details.
Run or Debug with the built-in Python extension commands
You can run or debug using the "triangle" icon and dropdown in the upper right of your editor window, when the editor window is focused on a python script file (i.e. typically a file named *.py).
You may need to setup a run/debug configuration to use this (see below), or it may automatically step you through creating one.
The output will normally go to a new "Python" terminal in the "terminal" window (Ctrl-`, to open it). See this answer for how to change that behavior.
Setting up a run/debug configuration
Easy option:
Use the menu item **Run/Add Configuration, and follow the prompts at the top of the VS Code window.
Some of the additional details are shown below.
More involved option:
Click the run/debug icon on the left vertical icon toolbar.
The window says "RUN AND DEBUG" at the top, with a drop-down that shows "No Configurations" for a given folder or workspace until you set this up.
The gear to the right of the dropdown will have a red dot if you need to configure this:
Updated Image (1/2022) - Changed from just 'Debug' to 'Run and Debug':
Click the gear icon (or in the menu, use Run/Open Configurations), and in the middle at the top, Visual Studio Code will open a window titled "Select a debug configuration".
The available options will depend on exactly how you have Visual Studio Code setup and configured
There should at least be a "Python File" option with the Python extension installed. Select it.
Now your debug configuration box on the top left of the debug pane should say "Python: Current File":
Visual Studio Code will add a file to your current workspace or working folder called .vscode/launch.json, and opened it for edit.
During installation if you forget to tick in check box for path and then if you are running any python file on visual studio it will not return any output untill and unless you have not added it into visual studio code.
First of all go to File → Preference → Settings.json
"code-runner.executorMap":
{
"python": "\"C:\\Program Files\\Python39\\python.exe\""
I have attached the screenshot for your better understanding!
Simplest Answer: Run the file directly in a terminal
Open a terminal in VS Code (View/Terminal in menu or Ctrl-`, which is the "Ctrl" key and the "Grave" or "Tick-mark" key, normally at the top left of keyboard above tab).
This will open the terminal to the root of the folder VS Code has open (the one that shows up in the Explorer sidebar - Ctrl-Shift-E to see).
Run the python script in the current directory with a simple python my_script.py command.
If the script is in another directory than the root of the current workspace or folder you opened the terminal in, you will need to change to that directory (using cd commands, etc.), or add the absolute or relative folder path to the name of the script.
The output will show up in the same terminal.
Notes
You must have a python executable on your path, be in an active virtual environment, or give the full path to the python executable.
Your python command may be python2 or python3 on some installs (usually linux), and can be just py for the Python Launcher (auto-installs with typical Python for Windows installs).
This option will not use any 'launch.json' configurations, and cannot be easily used to debug with.
You can configure the default terminal that is used, such as Git Bash, CMD, or Powershell (on Windows). You can also open additional terminal windows of any configured type using the "+" icon and it's dropdown, in the terminal window.
I found this post when trying to find how to show my python code output in the VSCode output window instead of the integrated terminal window. In my case the problem was caused by a Code-runner setting. Here's how I fixed my problem :
Open Command Palette(CTRL + SHIFT + P).
Search and select Preferences : Open Settings (UI).
Search the following setting : Code Runner : Run in Terminal.
Untick the box.
Now when you select Run Code (or CTRL + ALT + N) option when running your code, the Output window should work.
Note
The integrated terminal will not show code output now.
The output window in VScode is read-only. My method is not suitable if you are taking input from user.
I had the same problem, but figured that close to top right of your Visual Studio Code there is a little green triangle saying "running code in Terminal".
I you wanted to see some kind of print('Hello') it is does the job.
I ended up scrapping code and moving my project to Visual Studio 19. Works just fine now. Prints show up in a command prompt.
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.
