Visual Studio Code does not print desired output but only prints "..." - vincentolivers - Sep-09-2019
Hi all,
I'm a Python rookie (doing an online Python for Beginners course via edX) and I'm struggling with the following.
When I want to execute the below-stated lines of code:
fhand = open("mbox-short.txt")
for line in fhand:
line = line.rstrip()
if line.startswith("From: "):
print(line), it prints the following:Vincents-MacBook-Air-4:PYTHON DATA STRUCTURES vincentolivers$ /usr/bin/python
Python 2.7.10 (default, Aug 17 2018, 19:45:58)
[GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Apple LLVM 10.0.0 (clang-1000.0.42)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> fhand = open("mbox-short.txt")
>>>
>>> for line in fhand:
... line = line.rstrip()
... if line.startswith("From: "):
... print(line)
... Any ideas on how to print my desired output instead of "...", i.e. all lines that start with "From: " in the handled text file?Thanks in advance!!

First - it's recommended to open files with 'with' statement a la
with open('mbox-short.txt', 'r') as f:Second - if you try to enter code in interactive interpreter then you should make sure indentation is correct a la:
>>> for i in range(3): ... print(i) ... 0 1 2 >>>Third - it is not recommended to use Python 2 (for example print is quite different between Python 2 and 3)

it looks like you perform "Run Selection/Line in Python Terminal" command (from the mouse right-click menu). In this case it execute your script/selection/current line in python interactive mode line by line
You need to use "Run Python File in Terminal" instead

@burak thanks for your reply! And I'm sorry for not using that template, I just signed up and quickly wanted to get my problem solved which led to overreading those rules. I will take them into account from now onwards.
Content-wise, I actually do not see any "Run Python File in Terminal" option... Also, I downloaded the latest version of Python multiple times but somehow it keeps on using the 2.7.10 version...

How do you run your code?
it's in the right-click mouse menu, when click in the code part of the IDE window
as to 2/3 problem - you can select which interpreter to use in VSCode
Ctrl+Shift+P -> find Select Interpreter command
you are on linux paython defaults to python2 version

I indeed run the code by selecting the lines --> right-click --> "Run Python File in Terminal".
The other option when right-clicking is "Run Current File in Python Interactive Window". However, when I click that option, VSC requires me to install Jyputer. Apparently Jyputer is installed but it can't be run since my Python version is not supported, can that be true?

this is the right-click menu I have. I believe you use the Run selection/line in python terminal

Mine lacks the 2nd "run" option compared to yours...
RE: Visual Studio Code does not print desired output but only prints "..." - buran - Sep-09-2019
what version of VSCode/Python extension do you use?
RE: Visual Studio Code does not print desired output but only prints "..." - vincentolivers - Sep-09-2019
Python 2.7.10 64-bit.
Maybe I should consider reinstalling Python since there could be a chance I've unconsciously changed some vital settings or so. Also, how is it possible that even though I downloaded Python 3.7, only the 2.7.10 version pops up as possible interpreter? I'm kinda lost
