Can VSCode automatically run python scripts in two or more terminals at the same time?

Description

Can VSCode automatically run python scripts in two or more terminals at the same time without manually entering the path?

When I create a new terminal in VSCode to run the specified file, (it is still running), and then when I click the run button ("Run python file in terminal"), it will automatically run in the terminal that appears to be specified(not the newly created terminal). They look exactly the same python terminal.
Is it possible to set up VSCode so that it can automatically synchronize and run their respective files?

Since they are in the same terminal by default, the running results must be output in sequence, and if I use an external cmd window to debug, the results also need to be run in sequence, otherwise a new cmd window will not be able to be opened.

Thanks.

Thank you for the suggestion! We have marked this issue as "needs decision" to make sure we have a conversation about your idea. We plan to leave this feature request open for at least a month to see how many 👍 votes the opening comment gets to help us make our decision.

This did not used to be the default behavior. It used to run in the currently active terminal window. The new behavior is really annoying since it does not even look if the "Python" tty is executing and just tries to execute there. At least give a setting for the wanted behavior.

pycharm professional can run multiply python file in split terminals automatically.

Really annoyed by this issue. Cannot run python in 2 separate terminals or even in currently active terminal

I support, it is not convenient to debug the server and the client, me have to clog up the extra workspace in order to achieve the result (i am recent user in the vscode)

I used VSCODE before. You can create a new terminal every time you click "run python file", and each py file is independent.
After trying to open the interactive window today, I can't set it back anymore. I am very troubled.
I need to open multiple py files independently at the same time, in different python terminals.

since it does not even look if the "Python" tty is executing and just tries to execute there

This would require us to know when the current terminal command finishes command execution, so could you please open up a feature request at https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues to provide an API for the such?

Otherwise it looks like what we can do is create a new "Python" terminal for every different file. Or just use the currently active terminal window instead of creating our own "Python" terminal which #18315 would also benefit from.

is possible to replicated the feature from Atom - Hydrogen, having an option to have a terminal window per python file

Recently switch over to VSCODE because Hydrogen seem to be down/killed

I would suggest giving the option to allow "Run python file in terminal" to associate a Python terminal per file.

We've incorporated the suggestion in #21202 to open a different "Python" terminal for every file.

We hope to solve this issue generally in #15770.

We've added the option to assign a dedicated terminal for each Python file:

Fix should be out in the pre-release version of the extension, use the following to try it out:

huge thanks!

Marking issue as verified assuming folks have tried it out and are happy with it.
