IPython indentation issue

[robsalomone]

When a Python terminal is open with IPython running, and you select a code block and select "execute in Python console", it adds additional tabs in the pasted text before executing and returns syntax error.

This happens on Mac, not sure about Windows.

Can you verify you don't have the issue if you are not running IPython? If so that would suggest IPython is injecting the extra indentation.

[robsalomone]

Yes, specifically ipython. Obviously something is up however as PyCharm can send code to iPython with no issue. Perhaps there should be a “send to iPython” command that correctly adjusts indentation?

Getting this feature correct I believe is important to get the scientific computing (and perhaps also data science) community onboard with VSCode and Python.

@Moretizzle

• select "execute in Python console",

There is no such command in the extension.

• Please could you provide some sample code
• Please could you provide the exact steps used to replicate this issue.
  For instance when do you run ipython, is this after you execute some code, or before?
  How are sending the python code to the terminal (what menu or command are you using)?
