Atom (python) - paste multiple lines into command prompt

I'm used to writing python code in Atom and copy-paste into window command prompt to test and see immediate output. (let's not talk about if this is an efficient way or not here :) It usually allowed me to copy and paste multiple lines at once, but today, all of a sudden, command prompt does not recognize multiple lines.

For example, for the same code

list = []
n = [1,2,3]
for i in n:
    list.append(i)

Command prompt used to read my copy-pasting as something like (I don't recall how it exactly looks)

>>> list = []
>>> n = [1,2,3]
>>> for i in n:
...    list.append(i)

But now it read:

>>> list = [] n = [1,2,3] for i in n:    list.append(i)

I don't think the problem is with command prompt because when I copy from my question on StackOverlow, it reads perfectly. I suppose this is something with Atom, but I have no idea what changed/happened.

Does anyone have any idea what might be causing the problem?

Solution

  • I found a solution (inspired by this https://discuss.atom.io/t/make-lf-the-default-newline-format/53354):

    Settings -> Packages -> Line Ending Selector -> change the “Default line ending” setting to “CRLF”.

    This can also be changed here: enter image description here
