Description Olga Baranov 2025-10-14 08:09:51 UTC
SUMMARY

When sending indented text block to interactive console (via key shortcut in Python), each line is indented one level further, breaking the code in python 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create an indented block in py-file
(e.g.
def test(a):
    print('1')
    print('2')
    print('3')
)
2. Send to python terminal via key shortcut

OBSERVED RESULT

in the terminal, following is seen : 

>>> def test(a):
...         print('1')
...             print('2')
...                 print('3')
...                 
  File "<python-input-1>", line 3
    print('2')
IndentationError: unexpected indent
>>> 

EXPECTED RESULT
normal execution with indentation kept as in the editor
