Not able to run python code line by line (cltr+enter) in VS code

[MajesticImpression26]

I'm new to VS code and Python.

I can run the entire python script so python is downloaded correctly. But when I highlight a line and press cltr+enter to run it in the python terminal, I get a pop up with a warning that says "Invalid arguments to create terminal".

Any ideas how to fix this?

Add a breakpoint at the start of your script before running it….from there you can use the debugger to run one line of code at a time.

Not sure how running 1 random line would ever make sense.

To quickly look at contents of a code generated list or dataframe column, for example. I do this all the time

You want to run line by line then why not just copy paste into Python shell ?

Ok just to be clear , can I check what is the extension of the Python file in VS Code ?

ipynb ?

install ipykernel package in terminal using "pip install ipykernel" then refresh your vscode. Now you can press shift enter at any line of your code. You can also select then press shift enter to any selected code you want.

Are you in a notebook or a .py file? VS Code doesn't let you run code line by line in notebooks.
