I'm new to programming, new to VSCode, and I've never used ipython... so all of that complicates my understanding of what's going on!

I'm following a course which uses the Anaconda distribution of Python, and VSCode as the text editor. I am doing the same except that I am using the normal Python distro, not the Anaconda.

Anyway, I downloaded and installed this extension using the Visual Studio Marketplace. It shows that it is running in the "Running Extensions" command of VSCode. However, I can't get it to work! For example, in a program that I am writing, I highlighted some code and that opened the command palette and typed: "Send selected text (or current line) to iPython". The following are the error messages that I got in the terminal:

In the terminal sub-pane of VSCode, there is an option for IPython in the dropdown menu (1 is powershell, 2 is debug terminal, 3 is Python, and 4 is IPython.

It just seems like IPython is not working.

Can somebody help me?

Thank you
