I just begin to use xshell in Windows 7, it looks good, but how can I enter interactive console of iPython in xshell?
In cmd of windows, when I type "ipython", it will bring me to the interactive console automatically.
However, in xshell, I've tried several command like "ipython", "ipython console", all of them would not bring me to the interactive console of ipython.
BTW, I'm using xshell 5 (home/school edition) in Windows 7.
According to the response from technical support team of XSHELL, it seems xshell does not support interactive shell currently.

Xshell does not support interactive shell at this time. We are working on it.

Trying to choose Command Prompt in the Terminal however I can only see Zsh, bash, and Javascript bug terminal.... I've gone in to Select Default profile as suggested in similar threads I've found and still can't find it?
How do i get Command Prompt in there?
Note: I don't have Powershell either, and I'm on a Mac
If you are referring to cmd.exe, that is a windows only program and you won't be able to use it on MacOS.
Terminal is the MacOS Equivalent and can run shells such as bash and zsh as you noted.
I'm trying to use iterm as my focus terminal inside vscode. I've setup "terminal.external.osxExec": "iTerm.app", but I get zsh instead of iTerm.
I'm able to right click on a file and open in iterm but I love the integrated terminal, and want to use iTerm here.
How do I use iterm as my terminal?
You cannot set iTerm as the integrated terminal for VS Code. I have explained below why.
iTerm is not a shell but a terminal emulator which in your case is running the zsh shell.
I believe you are confusing the terms Shell and a terminal emulator.
iTerm is a terminal emulator. Some examples of terminal emulator are Gnome terminal, Guake, Xterm etc. They provide a display to the shell which is installed in the OS.
A shell is a command line interface that reads and interprets your commands. Examples of shell are bash which comes by default in Linux and other shells like zsh, fish, sh.
Visual Studio Code integrated terminals use the shell itself and not the terminal emulator. In Windows OS the distinction between shell and terminal emulator is not present so Powershell and Command Prompt are both the shell and the emulator.
But for Unix like OSes there is a distinction.
I believe you use iTerm as the terminal emulator and the shell used is zsh (pronounced Z Shell which is a fork of bash Bourne Again Shell).
Here is a wikipedia article on Unix Shell. This talks about what a Unix shell really is.
This link is about Terminal emulators which also talks about the history of terminals.
This link gives a list of terminal emulators
that are available. iTerm is a terminal emulator for Mac OS.
Though you can customize your normal terminal using this
then later remember to go to settings then assign the new configurations to override the default ones
"terminal.external.osxExec": "iTerm.app",
"terminal.integrated.fontFamily": "Meslo LG S DZ for Powerline",
"terminal.explorerKind": "external",
The accepted answer has precisely addressed the question.
Here I will add a side note:
Why do you want iterm2 in integrated shell?
My answer is: I want the "copy on selection" feature of iterm2.
Actually vscode has this setting for the integrated terminal!
Settings > Terminal > Integrated: Copy On Selection
By the way, vscode also allows you to split the terminal, which is like iterm2.
Is there a way to open an IPython interactive console in pycharm that is connected to an existing running kernel (similar to "python --existing")?
btw: in case it's relevant, in my case, the running kernel is of a Jupiter notebook...
EDIT: To clarify, my question is NOT about how to open an interactive console in PyCharm. It is about how to connect that interactive console to a an existing running (Jupiter notebook) Kernel.
(tl;dr: Use jupyter console --existing in the PyCharm "Terminal" tool window (not the "Python Console" tool window) to connect to an existing iPython kernel running in a local Jupyter Notebook server.)
I can confirm that the comment by #john-moutafis suggesting ipython console --existing is the right idea. The command gives "WARNING | You likely want to use jupyter console in the future" so I tried that.
I have a project using a conda environment as its interpreter. Jupyter Notebook is installed in the conda environment.
I open the Terminal tool window. It automatically activates the conda environment.
I type jupyter notebook. The notebook server starts and a browser window opens.
I create a notebook in the browser, and execute a cell containing foo = "bar".
In PyCharm, I open another Terminal tool window by clicking the plus sign to the left of the terminal pane.
In the new terminal I type jupyter console --existing, and it starts an ipython console session.
At the prompt I type dir(), and foo is among the results, confirming that I'm attached to the same kernel as the notebook.
I don't know how it picks which kernel to connect to when there are multiple kernels running in the notebook server.
Don't type exit in the iPython session if you plan to continue using the notebook, it shuts down the kernel.
Unfortunately, tools like Debug and "Execute Line/Selection in Console", which are available for the "Python Console" tool window, are not available for the "Terminal" tool window. In fact, because the Terminal tool window is a simple tool, and that's where I've run my commands, this solution isn't very integrated with PyCharm. The terminal opens in the project directory and activates the conda environment, and it's conveniently adjacent to the editors and tools of the IDE, but otherwise there's no connection to PyCharm's tools.
If anyone can successfully attach PyCharm's integrated PyDev debugger to a running kernel, please chime in.
I'm using PyCharm 2016.3 on macOS 10.12.3.
The easiest way for me is just to type %qtconsole in a jupyter notebook cell and run it. A qt console will open already connected to the running kennel. No PyCharm involved.
I am trying to redirect Terminal output to Eclipse console using external tools where I specified Terminal path (for example /usr/bin/xterm). When I run this tool it opens Terminal outside eclipse. When I did same thing in Windows 7, setting external tool location to Windows\System32\cmd.exe it ran inside Eclipse console. I wonder how I can make Terminal (in Ubuntu 14.04) work the same way.
You should use /bin/sh as command interpreter.
In Windows, cmd.exe combines two functions—interpreting commands and displaying terminal window. In Unix these functions are strictly separated. /bin/sh interprets commands and /usr/bin/xterm (or /usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator) displays terminal window, inside which it runs /bin/sh (or other shell like /bin/bash, /bin/zsh etc.) to interpret commands.
So if you ask Eclipse to run something via /usr/bin/xterm, it will appear in a new window, because that's what XTerm does. If you just want Eclipse to capture the output, ask it to run it directly via /bin/sh.
I am coding in PyCharm Community Edition and making use of the IPython embed function to debug my code. When I run the code, the code stops on the line I have embed and the IPython interactive shell appears at the bottom of PyCharm in the "Run" window. I can inspect my variables and run commands, but all the IPython autocomplete (i.e. tabs) and up and down keys (to retrieve previous commands) don't work anymore. Does anyone know how to get this working from within PyCharm?
Thank you.
