Disable PyDev / IPython console message in python debug prompt?
Hi JetBrains,
Whenever I set a breakpoint to debug a python program and start typing on the debug prompt, the following message shows up:
PyDev console: using IPython 5.1.0
Python 3.5.2 |Anaconda custom (64-bit)| (default, Jul 5 2016, 11:41:13) [MSC v.1900 64 bit (AMD64)]
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
IPython 5.1.0 -- An enhanced Interactive Python.
? -> Introduction and overview of IPython's features.
%quickref -> Quick reference.
help -> Python's own help system.
object? -> Details about 'object', use 'object??' for extra details.
It disturbs the first variable or expression being evaluated which becomes rather annoying when you spend a lot of time debugging like I do :)
Is there a way to disable this behaviour?
Best regards,
Johan

Hi Johan! Could you please take a screenshot of the message?
Here you go! As you can see, the first thing I wanted to do was to see the value of the "radius" variable.

Hm, could you please specify what PyCharm version is this?
PyCharm Professional 2017.3
Build #PY-173.3727.137 from November 28, 2017.
I noticed a strange red icon under the debugger pane, not sure if I remember it, do you use any custom plugins?
Yes, that red icon is the Grep Console plugin I use to highlight words in the output such as WARNING and ERROR.
It is also at its latest version, which currently is 7.2.162.000.0.
The other custom plugins that I have installed are:
BashSupport, Markdown support, YAML, (Markdown Navigator disabled).
