In PyCharm, debugging a Python script puts its I\/O in the PyCharm console. Unfortunately, it is not a complete console, so if your script uses advanced I\/O features, such as waiting for key presses or colored output, it will not work correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In order to have it work, you need to run the script in a separate console window, and connect to the PyCharm debugger. This is done as follows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First of all, create an external tool which will run the script in a dedicated console.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Name: gnome-terminal-<myprogram>
Program: gnome-terminal
Arguments: — \/bin\/bash -c “sleep 2; venv\/bin\/python3 pycharm; sleep 2”
Working Directory: $ProjectFileDir$<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This runs <myprogram> with the Python executable in the venv\/bin environment, in a dedicated gnome-terminal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then, create a new Run\/debug configuration “Python Debug Server”.
Name: Remote <myprogram>
IDE host name: localhost
Port: 45257
Before launch: Add New Task -> Run external tool “gnome-terminal-<myprogram>”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the end, in the program code add the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
try:\n if sys.argv[1] == \"pycharm\":\n # force keeping the original stdin.\n original_stdin = sys.stdin\n import pydevd_pycharm\n pydevd_pycharm.settrace('localhost', port=45257, suspend=False, trace_only_current_thread=False)\n sys.stdin = original_stdin\n sys.argv = sys.argv[0:1] + sys.argv[2:]\nexcept IndexError:\n pass<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nIf the first argument passed to the program is “pycharm”, it will be erased and the program will connect to the debug server started by the debug configuration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
