Atom python IDE, use command line execution?

Question

I would like to use the Atom IDE since it has nice syntax highlighting for python.

However, when I open a .py file in atom, somehow I cannot execute that file in a terminal any more. When I call the .py file in the terminal, instead of the output the terminal returns nothing and the atom window starts blinking as if it is forcefully taking priority.

Is there a way to set atom to only work as an editor and leave the execution of files to the terminal?

Answer 1

you need to install additional packages to run python scripts using atom. You can check this Youtube video.

You can use the run-in-terminal package.
