title: Visual Studio Code - input function in Python
body: <p>I am trying out Visual Studio Code, to learn Python.</p>
  
  <p>I am writing a starter piece of code to just take an input from the user, say:</p>
  
  <pre><code>S = input("What's your name? ")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I try to run this (Mac: <kbd>Cmd</kbd> + <kbd>Shift</kbd> + <kbd>B</kbd>) I see the task is running with no output. I have already configured the tasks.json file for output and arguments.</p>
  
  <pre><code>print("Hello, World!")
  S = input("What's your name? ")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Do I need to configure some environment variables in Visual Studio Code?</p>
