How do I run a python program in Visual Studio Code with input from sys.argv[1] [duplicate]

Question

import sys

gallons = int(sys.argv[1])
litre = gallons * 3.785411784
litre = round(litre,3)
print(gallons, "gallon(US) is equal to", litre, "litre")

For example if I were to run this code in windows cmd I would type: python "C:\Users\public\Desktop\assign2-6.py" 15

It would take 15 as the input and convert 15 into litre and return the output. How would I run this code in Visual Studio Code/Pycharm so I would not have to manually type the file location?

Two suggestions: 1) Dump VSC and use a proper (non-MS) IDE. 2) Build and argparser and implement that into your project. :-) — s3dev

@S3DEV, curious, what's wrong with VSC (or MS IDEs in general)? — pho

Why would one use an MS product for open-souce development? What has MS (ever) contributed to the OS world? Two very different ideologies. — s3dev

@S3DEV, "what has MS ever contributed to the OS world?" How about VSCode? Regardless of what you think of MS's opensource contributions, using only opensource tools for opensource development sounds somewhat impossible to me, because that would preclude people from using a Windows / Mac computer, which is what quite a lot of people use. — pho

@PranavHosangadi - “because that would preclude people from using a Windows / Mac computer”. And wouldn’t that be a great world ... ;-) — s3dev

Your Solution:
You could open the VSCode Terminal and change its directory to the
file parent directory using: cd C:\Users\public\Desktop and then everytime just run the
command python assign2-6.py 15.
Or you could just take the input while the program runs instead of sys.argv[1]
