How do i run python file in cmd from vscode

Question

I have a python program which prints long outputs. When i try to run that file in vscode, its interactive window isn't enough to view full output. So is there any way to run python file in cmd from VSCODE?

Answer 1

If you are running windows, VSCode uses Powershell as your terminal by default. If you want to use the command prompt instead, hit ctrl+shift+p, type Shell into the command pallet, select Terminal: Select Default Shell, and change it to Command Prompt. I am not sure this will fix your problem as I think Powershell should display just as much output as the CMD, but if you want to try switching terminals, that will do it. Another option is to try to run it natively in CMD or Powershell, rather than using the VSCode integrated terminal. That might be better if changing terminals doesn't help.
