IndentationError Running Loops

[therealsmithy]

Type: Bug

While trying to run a for loop in python, I am recieving an IndentationError: unexpected indent. I have confirmed that my code works in other IDE's, so it is not a code issue.

VS Code version: Code 1.96.4 (cd4ee3b1c348a13bafd8f9ad8060705f6d4b9cba, 2025-01-16T00:16:19.038Z)

Further clarification. This occurs when I write a loop with more than one argument after it.
Something like this runs fine:

for i in range (1,10):
    print(i)

While something like this does not

while i < 7:
    print(i)
    i += 1

@therealsmithy Are you using run in terminal or something equivalent?

[therealsmithy]

I am using run in terminal. When I run in the Python REPL there is no problem.

[anthonykim1]

Thanks for filing this @therealsmithy

Which Python version are you running?
Also do you have the setting on for smart send?

[anthonykim1]

Screenshot of your editor with code and the terminal should help alot :) Thanks

[anthonykim1]

If you are using Python3.13 on Windows, then I would've said its highly likely related to: #24256 (comment) coming from python/cpython#124096.

I'm hesitant because you say "I have confirmed that my code works in other IDE's, so it is not a code issue."

Are you sure your other IDEs are using Python3.13 (if you are seeing this error on VS Code with Python version >=3.13) and have you tried to use external terminal (such as pwsh) and see if you get similar results?

[therealsmithy]

Hello! Here is a screenshot. My other IDEs are also using Python 3.13.1.

[therealsmithy]

I am using 3.13.1 and I am using smart send. Even when I change my Python version to 3.12.8 I run into the same error.

[anthonykim1]

I see, for your 3.13 issue it looks like its from what I have mentioned previously.

Could you just please double check if you are getting the same error even when you change to 3.12?
The screenshot only shows for 3.13

[therealsmithy]

3.12 actually works just fine. Thank you.
