Visual Studio Code does not print to terminal with correct indentation

Question

I have a new computer at work and I am setting up Visual Studio Code.

I write a simple function in the editor and send it to terminal, I get the following error:

IndentationError: unexpected indent

I tried to remove indentation in formula definition of editor, and it worked:

Is there something I can do to correct this issue, as it will wreak havoc on more complex functions and loops

Answer 1

This is a known CPython issue on Windows (it has nothing to do with Visual Studio Code): https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/124119

As a workaround, you can either switch back to Python 3.12, or use the "Native REPL" in Visual Studio Code, which is not affected by this issue.
