Pasting text into the python shell for some reason does not work. What can I do?

The paste-function somehow seems not to work in the python shell. Anybody who can help or explain why?

I am on a windows pc doing the Python Basics Course and at one point I am supposed copy and paste a long floating number (gained from calculating 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 - 0.3) into the round() function…

The copy-function in the shell works when right-clicking on the text and selecting „copy“. But the paste-function does not work, or to be more accurate: when I right-click on the position where I want to paste, there is no paste-function in the opening menu.

Needless to say that str+v also does not work.

Does anybody have an idea what could be the reason why it does not work? Because in the video Kenneth is using copy and paste inside the shell.

Thanks for helping!

I don't know about Windows, but on Linux instead of CTRL + V to paste into terminal, you do CTRL + SHIFT + V. Hope it works

No, it does not. That's why I am asking. ;-)

But thanks for taking the time answering.
