Try creating a workspace independently.

Go to Workspaces page.

select "New +"

  • Add workspace title, such as "Test print"
  • Pick environment from dropdown list: Python
  • Use default "Python Workspace" template

Select "Create Workspace"

A new window will open.

Click on File, then New File. Give the new file a name, such as, "test.py".

In the top window, select the test.py tab.

Enter the code:

print("Hello, World!")

Save the file (Control-s, or File-->Save)

In the lower window, at the prompt type:

python test.py

You should see: Hello, World!

This will tell you if workspaces are working for you.
