doesn't load modules

[irvnriir]

when i run help('modules') in python.exe window, it outputs correctly .

the extension's python.defaultInterpreterPath and python.pythonPath is set to the same .exe . but when i run the command in the Terminal from python.createTerminal i get this

Name                              Category  Module                    Synopsis                                     
----                              --------  ------                    --------                                     
ImportSystemModules               Function                            ...
InModuleScope                     Function  Pester                    ...

and unable to use pip or anything

how to fix this ?

The problem is you're typing help() in PowerShell, not a Python REPL. First type python3 in PowerShell and that will launch the REPL (you will know it worked when you see the >>> prompt). Now you can use help on Python objects.

XDD , what a hell ..

guess i was so tired that barely watched the screen X) . thanks for the help

[irvnriir]

by the way, why then python.createTerminal doesn't open the python console ?

[brettcannon]

It's a hold-over from when we didn't automatically activate terminals for users. "Python terminal" to us means "a terminal that is activated for Python". You're referring to what we call the REPL.

@brettcannon i see no point in having python.createTerminal do what it does, even if it does anything specific for assigning py/python/.. commands (because its expected to have this trough Win EnvVars) .
