Python Interactive not Printing Correctly

• Extension version (available under the Extensions sidebar): 2018.12.1
• OS and version: MacOS Sierra

Expected behaviour

I should be able to print a requests object.

Actual behaviour

Nothing shows up!

I attached a screenshot. My terminal at the bottom printed correctly, as a result of clicking to run the selection in Python Terminal.

Steps to reproduce:

1. make a request
2. Print it

Logs

Output from Console under the Developer Tools panel (toggle Developer Tools on under Help; turn on source maps to make any tracebacks be useful by running Enable source map support for extension debugging)

I believe the problem is we're treating the returned data as html directly instead of wrapping it in a span. So the <Response [200]> is treated like an html tag.

@rchiodo that makes sense to me. are you able to change the behavior to wrap output in span, and see if that resolves the issue?

Seems relevant to printing objects generally, not just requests objects. E.g. printing a package is wrapped in tags... <module 'package' from 'path/here.py'>

Seems like a straightforwards fix to make for the next release?

Unfortunately it's not as simple as just sticking a span around everything. It all depends upon the type of stream data. We have to put spans just around text data. It should be fixed soon though.
