IntelliJ IDEA: Python Console and Code Completion

Python Console

The Python console enables executing Python commands and scripts line by line, similar to your command-line interface.

Code Completion

IntelliJ IDEA offers two types of code completion for Python:

• Basic: Provides basic code completion based on the Python language.
• Advanced: Offers more advanced completion features such as type hints and inspections.

You can select the desired completion type from the drop-down list in the Python console.

Resetting the Console

To reset the Python console without running a specific Python file, you can use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+F5.

Additionally, IntelliJ IDEA provides various features to enhance your Python development experience, including debugging tools, unit testing integration, and support for Python frameworks such as Django and Flask.
