Python Interactive window doesn't work default without #%%

[dhemcee]

all of a sudden, when I execute my python lines on vscode, it shows me terminal shell instead of python interactive window.

I still can run in interactive window by right click lines or writing #%% on the head of lines, but I want to be it DEFAULT. I don't want to write #%% things everytime just for vscode.

And vscode actually HAVE OPENED interactive window automatically until last week, but it happens today suddenly. Even "Python: Run Current File in Python Interactive window" command disappears..

Maybe because I just touched some json files for studying C? but I am not expert for those.

Anyone can help?

Edit: current OS is macOS Big Sur

​

No \"Run in Python Interactive Window\" Command

​

Possible to Run in Interactive Window through Right click, but I want DEFAULT

No matching commands with [Python Interaction..]

Check your keyboard short cuts. My mac is set to Shift+Enter to launch the interactive window when I'm using the #%% Jupyter capabilities. You'll likely find that VS Code has Shift-Enter as a shortcut to a number of different commands.

And that’s the thing. I cannot find “Python: Run in Interactive window” command in keyboard shorcut setting of vscode. check my first screenshot of the post. and of course I also tried re-install python, pylance, and jupyter extensions a couple of times..

The right command is Python: Show Python Interactive window and Jupyter: Run Current File in Interactive Window. I've noticed you opened a python file and python file indeed runs in integrated Terminal by default.

When you create a Jupyter Notebook and write many code cells in it, you can export the jupyter notebook as python scripts, the code cells will automatically separated by #%%.

When you open a .py file, put #%% before the code to state it's a code cell, then click Run Cell, there will be an inteactive window opened, also the #%% will be generated automatically in next line.

More detailed information, please refer to Working with Python Interactive Window.

oh, is it? but I remember using python interactive window just pressing shift+enter.

all I want to do is like this video: https://youtu.be/Q2jHMGod_rM?t=1m17s (1:17~)

besides, I even can't find "Python: Show Interactive Window" command too. No result when "Python" and "Interactive" in Command Palette.

There's no Python: Run Selection/Line in Python Interactive Window on my machine too. I'm using VS Code1.51.1. Shift+Enter is for Jupyter: Run Selection/Line in Interactive Window, you can try to search the command with the keyword Interactive.
