Type: Bug

Behaviour

When the target Python interpreter has pyreadline3 installed (a common transitive dependency, e.g. via magika/markitdown), sending code to the integrated terminal via "Run Selection/Line in Terminal" (Shift+Enter) no longer sends as a single atomic block. Instead, the text appears to be delivered/rendered character-by-character, execution is delayed by several seconds even for trivial code, and previously-printed terminal output is sometimes overwritten rather than scrolled.

With pyreadlines3 installed

This does not occur:

  • In a plain (non-Python) PowerShell/pwsh terminal
  • When pyreadline3 is not installed in the target interpreter. Uninstalling it (pip uninstall pyreadline3 / uv pip uninstall pyreadline3) from an otherwise identical venv immediately and fully resolves the issue, with no other change
  • When using python.REPL.sendToNativeREPL: true (bypasses the classic terminal REPL entirely)

Without pyreadlines3 installed

This was isolated after extensive testing that ruled out: VS Code version/build (reproduced on 1.121, 1.124, 1.131, both stable and portable installs), all other extensions (reproduced with all disabled), all user/workspace settings (reproduced with settings fully stripped), GPU-accelerated terminal renderer, shell (pwsh 7.6.4 and Windows PowerShell 5.1), execution policy, antivirus/AMSI, background services, Windows Search indexing, Windows Terminal app presence, PowerToys, system file corruption (sfc), and a full in-place Windows repair install. A CPU profile of the extension host during the slow window shows it almost entirely idle, confirming the delay is not in VS Code's JS/extension-host layer but downstream in how the terminal/REPL handles the input once sent.

Working theory: pyreadline3 hooks Windows console input (to provide GNU-readline-style line editing/history for the interactive REPL) in a way that conflicts with the Python extension's shell-integration / bracketed-paste send path for the classic terminal REPL.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. uv venv --python=3.12 (or python -m venv) to create a fresh virtual environment
  2. uv pip install pyreadline3 (or pip install pyreadline3)
  3. Open the resulting interpreter in VS Code, select it as the workspace interpreter
  4. Create a .py file with enough content to make the delay clearly visible. A short snippet may only show a subtle lag; a longer block (~20-30 lines with nested indentation, e.g. a function plus a class) makes both the slowdown and the character-by-character/overwrite rendering unambiguous. Example script: [link to gist or attach repro_test.py]
  5. Select all of it, press Shift+Enter (or run "Python: Run Selection/Line in Terminal")
  6. Observe: text is sent/rendered character-by-character rather than as one block, execution is delayed by several seconds, and terminal output is visibly garbled/overwritten
  7. Run pip uninstall pyreadline3, close and reopen the terminal, repeat step 5 sending is now instant and clean, confirming pyreadline3 as the sole variable
