title: Running Python in Visual Studio 2017, output not showing correctly?
body: <p>I was using a different IDE for running Python scripts, but I would like to switch over to Visual Studio. When I try testing simple scripts that work in the simple IDE, I can't figure out how to get my output to show correctly. I have tried running the debugger, pressing CTRL+F5, and pressing CTRL+F5 then CTRL+d, but all that happens is that a blank console pups up, and the cursor blinks actively.</p>
  
  <p>I have run out of ways to rephrase this issue to get something helpful to show up in both Google search results and in StackOverflow. The main results I get are about antivirus software (thoroughly investigated, not the problem here) and articles about beginning Python in VS. How do I get my Python programs to show output correctly? And also am I using incorrect terminology? </p>
