Support sending selection to terminal using using IPython

[alandema]

Environment data

• VS Code version: 1.61.0 (user setup)
• Extension version: 2021.10.1317843341
• OS and version: W10 21H1
• Python version (& distribution if applicable, e.g. Anaconda): Miniconda python 3.9.5
• Type of virtual environment used (N/A | venv | virtualenv | conda | ...): conda
• Value of the python.languageServer setting: Pylance

Expected behaviour

with shortcut as:
{
"key": "ctrl+enter",
"command": "python.execSelectionInTerminal"
}

and using an IPython console:
"python.terminal.launchArgs": [
"-m",
"IPython"
],

When Ctrl + Enter, the expected is to send the lines to terminal and execute it as is.

Actual behaviour

When defining a function, the indentation goes crazy and for particular codes the console returns an indentation error. The same code works fine if executed or debugged or used in IPython in another IDE or running in the vanilla Python console.

Thanks for the bug report! We just wanted to quickly acknowledge we received it and we will triage this as soon as we can.

Hi @alandema , this looks like an issue with IPython module itself. Extension simply sends the selection to terminal. Regardless of the extension, if you attempt to copy paste this

def soma(a,b):
    a=1
    for i in range(10):
        print('a')

in a IPython, it results in extra indentation resulting in an error:

I think it is because in IPython, blocks are automatically indented:

and IPython is pasting the code line by line instead of directly pasting it, due to which blocks are extra indented.

See the following for the workaround: #8945 (comment), which gives a link on how to turn autoindent off.

Closing as dup of #8945, very similar to #17172.
