where we see python output ?

Question

actually I want to know what it called that where we see the python output after execution...
it's called : ?
1) Console
2) Command - line - interface
3) interpreter
4) ??

Answer 1

This article makes some distinctions between console, terminal...:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/506510/what-is-the-difference-between-terminal-console-shell-and-command-line

In contrast to that article, the software developers I usually speak with treat "console" and "terminal" as the same thing and, in modern times, saying that a console or terminal needs to be a piece of hardware seems outdated. A strictly text-based interface was common up to the late 1980's but got replaced more by mixed graphical and text-based interfaces in the 1990's. A console window or terminal window where you can interact with text-based or command-line-driven programs and scripts is what most people think of when "console" or "terminal" are mentioned now.

3) interpreter
The Python interpreter is fairly different from saying "console", "Command line interface"...

The Python Interpreter is basically the command you use to run a .py script. The Python interpreter is python.exe or python3.exe, or similar on non-Windows operating systems.

Answer 2

Both 1 and 2 would be accurate but "Console" is how I'd most often word it.

Console, terminal, command line interface are all good descriptions for where to find text output that came from standard output or standard error from the running Python script.

Outputs can be written files too which obviously wouldn't be described above but that's not likely what you're asking about.
