As a python developer that migrated from pycharm to vscode, I can say that one of the major issues was the lack of python console.
its super useful feature that hooks the users into it.
I can say on behalf of me personally as well as my colleagues and friends.
recently I’ve discovered that vscode have implemented that.. quite long time ago..
its called Python: Start Native Python REPL, you can search for it in the cmd+shift+P thing, or set a keyboard shortcut for it.
its very close to pycharm’s python console, you can run quick commands, see the variables in real time on the Run and Debug tab, (without running special debug or something).. it remembers everything you executed.. and it waits for you there..
similar to notebook but with better variable debugging.
(in notebooks you need to debug manually each block.. or see all variables in a weird text based format thingy.. the native REPL works much better)
(on the right: the “Python Console” aka Python REPL
on the left: the variables from the REPL
in the middle: some arbitrary script)
my question is:
why isn’t it also on cursor?
cursor currently using vscode version 1.96.2 (latest is 1.98.2).
I couldn’t see when exactly this feature was added but looks like it was there at least since June 2024.. so I assume 1.96.2 is way passed that..
is this skipped on purpose? if so why?
could it be added back somehow?
Thanks ahead,
behalf of me and all Hyro’s dev team.
