title: VS Code - can you display a Python shell
body: <p>When using Python IDLE I find the Python shell, with the >>> prompt very useful for testing syntax. Is there a way of getting a Python shell integrated in VS Code? </p>
  
  <p>Maybe the answer is just to open Python IDLE in another window.</p>
  
  <p>Apparently this is a duplicate of another question, but I did several searches on the words Python shell and didn't find anything that seemed relevant. Sorry.</p>
  
  <p>Many thanks to Jaxi for the answer that you need to type Python in the Terminal Window. </p>
