Python Interactive Window on VSCode truncates outputs showing only the last 1950 characters

[adisoadi]

Steps to cause the bug to occur

1. Open Python Interactive Window
2. In the Python Interactive Window input box create a variable and store a string longer than 1950 characters in that variable and press Enter to execute.
3. Write the variable name again and press Enter.

Actual behavior

The output of the string includes only the last 1950 characters of the string when the variable is called directly without using print(). To get the expected behavior, the value of the setting Python › Data Science: Text Output Limit should be set to 0. By default, the value is 2000.

Expected behavior

The output of the string should be complete by default.

[rchiodo]

This is actually by design. You can override this behavior with the 'Text Output Limit' value:

We did this because otherwise VS code can run out of memory displaying the text output.

microsoft/vscode-python#6518

The default should be 20000 though.
