There are two options for using terminals in Visual Studio Code when debugging:

• Option 1: Use the Visual Studio Code Terminal (integrated terminal)
• Option 2: Use the native (OS) Terminal (external terminal)

Option 1: Integrated Terminal

• Open the file to be debugged
• From the debug configuration select Integrated Terminal/Console
• Start debugging
• The integrated terminal will be displayed (if not you can open it using instructions outlined here)

Note: All debug output will now be displayed in the Terminal/Console Window and not in the Python Debugger console.

Option 2: External Terminal

• Open the file to be debugged
• From the debug configuration select External Terminal/Console
• Start debugging
• The external terminal will be displayed

Note: All debug output will now be displayed in the Terminal/Console Window and not in the Python Debugger console.
