hi guys i need some help. got a new laptop, git and python 3.14.2 installed from the official python.org site. even used python --version on both windows cmd and vs code's terminal to make sure.

I tried testing using the most simple line of code:

print("hi")

ran it in vs code. No errors showed up, however there was no output to the terminal at all. anyone experience the same issue before?

Remember to:

  • Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
  • Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
  • Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

that white circle in the tab indicates that there are unsaved changes

I need to save it to run it?

i didnt have to last time

until you save file.py, the changes you made to it don't actually exist anywhere outside VS Code's memory. so other programs reading it, like python in your terminal, don't know about those.

I think I had auto save turned on previously. makes sense

Isn't there some autosave setting which can be turned on. Thought I saw it mentioned.
