Hi I installed the new extension 2018.9.1 but when running the for loop, it doesnt run in console unless I go to console and manually hit Enter. Any remedy here?

Actual behavior

The problem cited in #2857 doesn't seem to get solved by installing the new Python extension (2018.9.1). When I run any for loop or any code snippet that required indentation, it just gets stuck in the console until I go to console manually and hit Enter

Expected behavior

The sample for loop should print 0,1,2,3,4 in console

Steps to reproduce:

Install the latest python extension 2018.9.1 and run the following code in VS code:

for a in range(5):
print(a)

Extension version: 2018.9.1
OS version: Windows 10 Enterprise x64

This is simply a limitation of how we are sending raw text down to the REPL, so the remedy in 2018.9.1 fixes what it was meant to do and doesn't add any new support around the preexisting limitation.
