Simple print command not working

From @roberti on November 8, 2018 9:43

Issue Type: Bug

the code in file foo.py is:

# simple print
print('hell')

The result is: Exception has occurred: AttributeError ‘NoneType’ object has no attribute ‘write’ File “C:\Projetos\Faculdade\POO\python\datas.py”, line 4, in <module> print(‘hell’)

It is working perfectly in python console. Does not work in Visual Studio Code.

VS Code version: Code 1.28.2 (7f3ce96ff4729c91352ae6def877e59c561f4850, 2018-10-17T00:23:51.859Z) OS version: Windows_NT x64 10.0.17134

Same path as other IDEs… C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\

But… as you mentioned it now I made some new tests… I don’t know why, but the default executable set is “pythonw.exe” (I really didn’t realized that w there untill now, I’m sorry). Changing to “python.exe” the things work. With “pythonw.exe” the problem occurs. Actually I googled it and found the difference, and seems that the error is actually the normal behaviour for pythonw.exe. Just can’t imagine why that executable was set as default in the instalation process (I’ve installed VS Code through the end of Anaconda instalation). Anyway, thank you for the assistance! And very sorry for not have seen that before (I really had read all the settings.json relevant attributes - python path included, and didn’t see that).

Best regards!

I Agree. Probably this behaviour came from the anaconda installer. It is very time consuming - specially for people that uses python occasionaly. Is there a way to report it to anaconda?
