ViewsHow to run a file in IPython console as default instead of terminal?
I started a new project in PyCharm. I have Anaconda 3.6 installed. So, in PyCharm, I selected the Anaconda python.exe as project interpreter.
When I first ran PyCharm, it used the IPython console as "default" console to run my script. Then I restarted my PC and now PyCharm uses the terminal when I run my scripts. Why? I don't want to use the terminal, coming from Anaconda Spyder IDE. I'm used to IPython, I like it and I want to use it.
How can I completely disable the terminal and use only the IPython console?

Short answer:
- Go to
File > Default settings > Build, Execution, Deployment > Consoleand selectUse Ipython if available - Go to
Run > Edit Configurationsand selectShow command line afterwards
Tip: Run selected parts of your code with ALT + SHIFT + E
The details:
If you've selected Anaconda as the project interpreter, IPython will most likely be the selected console even though it neither looks nor behaves like the IPython console you are used to in Spyder:
Unlike Spyder, PyCharm has no graphical indicator showing that this is an IPython console.
To make sure it's an IPython console and make it behave more or less like the IPython console you are used to from Spyder, you should follow these two steps:
Go to
File > Default Settings > Build, Execution, Deployment > Consoleand make sure to selectUse IPython if available.
Go to
Run > Edit Configurationsand selectShow command line afterwards
Now you can run selected parts of your code with ALT+SHIFT+E more or less exactly like in Spyder.

In the new version of Pycharm, you have a different option in Edit Configuration.
Go to Run > Edit Configurations and select Run with Python console
