When I’m executing a highlighted python code in VScode I see the output in terminal along with actual code. Is there a way to make the terminal display output only and not all lines of code associated with it?
No, because it executes the selected code in interactive mode.
In order to get clean output you need to write your code to a .py file and execute it.
You could creat a new .py file and put the code into this file.
For example, I have a .py file namde Helloworld.py and one line in it.
Then you could run this file by click "Run python file"
Here is the terminal shows:
If the above does not work, I think there may be a problem with your default terminal settings.

I installed python from the extensions, named my file dohoon.py but the code doesn't run in terminal. If I write the code in terminal and press enter, the code works out perfectly but if I write my code on my file and press the run code button on the upper right, the code doesn't work in terminal and vs just shows 'output' with bunch of colorful codes that I cannot understand. So, how can I write code in the file, run it with the play button and make it work in terminal?
Choose the second "Run Python File"
The first one "Run Code" will run the file and tell you the result in "OUTPUT".
The second one "Run Python File" can show the result in your default terminal.
I have a .py file open in Visual Studio Code. However, I'm missing the jupyter notebooks functionality to execute cells/debug. Is there any way I could execute and debug single parts of the whole .py script?
It would be great if you could specify exactly what you mean by missing the jupyter notebook's functionality, because you could use the #%% magic line depending on the kind of limitation you have.
If your need is just to run code line by line or by chunks you can do so using VS Code quite easily. You just need to have a terminal window open, select the part of the code you want to run, and press ⇧ + ↩(Mac). Maybe your key binding is different, but you can check it on Preferences: keyboard shortcuts under Python: Run Selection/Line in Python Terminal
You can bebug the file by placing breakpoints in it, and then copy & paste portions of the file into the DEBUG CONSOLE to execute them (or press continue, etc.).

is there a way to configure VS Code to automatically clear the terminal right before I run a Python file, for example? I searched a lot for that but without success. Whenever I try to run a file in terminal, previous runs are still there in the terminal, and it gets kinda confusing. Notice that I want to clear the terminal when I run the code in terminal (i.e. when I click the play button), not when I run with debugging. My idea is to always have the terminal empty when I run a file. Any thoughts?
Currently in VS Code, it does not automatically clear the terminal data settings, but you could use the command "clear" in the VS Code terminal to clear the previous output data, or click the'kill' icon to delete the current terminal and use the shortcut key Ctrl+Shift+` to open a new VS Code terminal.
I have written a python script (lets call it myTest.py) and would like to launch it from the windows command promt.
My python interpreter was added to the PATH environment variable, therefore i can launch it just fine as python myTest.py and it is executed successfully.
I would however like to launch it by simply typing myTest.py in the command promt. But if I do this, the file is opened in PyCharm and is not executed.
I have checked assoc .py which gives me .py=Python.File, as well as ftype Python.File which gives me Python.File="C:\WINDOWS\py.exe" "%L" %*. As far as I understand this, a .py file should be launched with py.exe at the given path.
(If you are as confused as I was by the %L option of ftype, that is not mentioned in its help document: It makes no difference in my case and is equivallent to %0 and %1. Source: https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2015-November/699263.html)
Can anyone explain why my script is opened in PyCharm and not launched with py.exe? What do I have to do to simply execute it instead?
Edit:
The answer of #Hamed169 solves the problem (thanks!), but doesnt't give any details on why there is a difference between the program that is used to open a file and the one that is returned by ftype.
For everyone that is interested in why there is a difference I have found the following question (has currently no final answer, but quite a bit of information): https://superuser.com/questions/204354/how-do-i-get-ftype-assoc-to-match-windows-explorer
Right Click on a .py file
Click Properties
Click "change" in Opens with:
Select your python interpreter instead PyCharm
Run your .py files and enjoy:)
Thanks a lot Hame
We should change it to the python.exe file path, i.e., (in my case):
C:\Users\NEDA\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38-32
So I am trying to debug some Python code that I am running, because for some reason when I run the code in a command line it works perfectly, but when I make it a .py file and run it that way it fails.
The output is in a Windows Commander window, and it disappears before I can read it.
Is there a way to see what this output is?
Open a windows commander, and then go to the dir where a.py is, run "python a.py", it will not disappear!
