Question

I'm very new to Visual Studio Code even beginner in python coding. I have tried the following very simple code:

for i in range(1000):
    print i

Each time I run the code I got the following error after printing some of i's:

print i

IOError: [Errno 0] Error

I'm using python 2.7

After researching on the web about it, it appears to be a Windows issue which has been resolved in the Windows 1803 release. See https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/36630#issuecomment-357084696

Edit:

A workaround is to use external instead of redirected terminal.

Add the line:

"console": "externalTerminal",

to your launch.json.

It looks like there is a problem with input/output. Try to run it from cmd or bash if you are on Ubuntu.If that doesn't work try from Python IDLE.
