I'm new to programming and using python. I am unable to use the terminal to use command-line work. I can run script, but nothing from the command line

I cannot even do print('hello'), though I can do that on idle

I have reviewed some tutorials, but they are of no help

If you're talking about VS Code built-in terminal (Ctrl `), before execute print('hello') or some similar code, you should first start Python interective session by typing in python end hitting Enter.

Check this link for more details.

Add these two lines to your settings.json :

"terminal.explorerKind": "external", 
"terminal.integrated.defaultProfile.windows": "Command Prompt"
