Using up-arrow in Python terminal for conda env does not show last command

Environment data

• VS Code version: 1.23.1
• Extension version (available under the Extensions sidebar): 2018.4.0
• OS and version: Windows 10 1709 (Build 16299.309)
• Python version (& distribution if applicable, e.g. Anaconda): 3.6.4 Anaconda (64-bit)
• Type of virtual environment used (N/A | venv | virtualenv | conda | ...): conda
• Relevant/affected Python packages and their versions:

Actual behavior

• last command is not displayed in integrated terminal when up-arrow is pressed within Python REPL

Expected behavior

• last command would be displayed

Steps to reproduce:

1. Ctrl + Shift + P -> Python: Create Terminal
2. (in terminal window) type "python" to start REPL
3. (enter any command, for example:) test = 'testing'
4. press up-arrow to display last command (nothing happens)

Starting REPL with Ctrl + Shift + P -> Python: Start REPL and then continuing with steps 3 and 4 results in the same issue.

We have no direct control over the terminal, so if this isnt' working then it has to do with your Python installation -- verify by trying this in an external terminal -- or with VS Code itself and how Anaconda's build of Python interact with each other.

Thanks Brett! I'll post to VS Code then - external terminal works as expected.
