Question

Running python code on VS code

Answer 1

In your console press Ctrl+Shift+P (Windows) or Cmd+Shift+P (Apple) and this brings up a search box where you search for "Configure Task Runner"

EDIT: If this is the first time you open the "Task: Configure Task Runner", you need to select "other" at the bottom of the next selection list.

This will bring up the properties which you can then change to suit your preference. In this case you want to change the following properties;

Change the Command property from "tsc" (TypeScript) to "Python"Change showOutput from "silent" to "Always"Change args (Arguments) from ["Helloworld.ts"] to ["${file}"] (filename)Delete the last property problemMatcherSave the changes made



You can now open your py file and run it nicely with the shortcut Ctrl+Shift+B (Windows) or Cmd+Shift+B (Apple)
