🐍 Run Python Live

⚡ A lightweight VS Code extension that automatically runs your Python scripts live — just like Nodemon, but for Python.

🚀 Overview

Run Python Live helps you save time by running your Python code automatically every time you save the file.
It detects input() statements, handles module errors gracefully, and even prompts you to install missing Python packages directly — all from within VS Code.

Perfect for students, automation developers, and anyone who wants a smoother Python workflow.

✨ Features

• 🔁 Auto-run on Save — Instantly executes your .py file whenever you hit save.
• 🖥️ Live Output Panel — See your program output directly in VS Code without switching terminals.
• ⌨️ Interactive Input Support — If your code uses input(), it automatically switches to the integrated terminal.
• 🧠 Smart Module Detection — Detects missing Python modules and offers one-click installation.
• 🪄 Clear Output Automatically — Clears old logs before each run for a clean view.
• ✅ Process Management — Stops previous runs before starting a new one.
• 📦 Cross-Platform — Works on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

🧰 Requirements

Before using this extension, make sure you have:

• Python 3.7+ installed
• Added Python to your system PATH
• VS Code version 1.105.0 or higher
• Required Python dependencies (if any — the extension will help you install them)

⚙️ How It Works

1. Open any .py file in VS Code
2. Save your file (Ctrl + S or Cmd + S)
3. The extension automatically:
   • Clears the output terminal
   • Runs your Python code
   • Shows results instantly
   • Prompts you if any module is missing (e.g., Flask, Pandas, etc.)
