Run Selected Text in Active Terminal - Python IndentationError

[parasurama]

Issue Type: Bug

I have a python (not ipython) REPL open in the terminal.
When I send selected text to active terminal, I get an indentation error if my function contain empty lines.

def indent_error():
    print("this causes")

    print("indentation error")


>>> def indent_error():
...     print("this causes")
... 
>>>     print("indentation error")
  File "<stdin>", line 1
    print("indentation error")
    ^
IndentationError: unexpected indent
>>> 

def no_indent_error():
    print("this does not cause")
    print("indentation error")

>>> def no_indent_error():
...     print("this does not cause")
...     print("indentation error")
... 
>>>

This is happening because the empty line there is not indented, so the function with the single print statement is being evaluated. The run selected text command doesn't know anything about the language, so you have a couple of options:

• Use the python extensions to run the code
• Indent the empty lines
