Support terminal link provider to handle python error stacks #20088
Description
Type: Bug
Behaviour
Expected vs. Actual
When running python in debug mode, the resulting error messages have links to the error files, but clicking on the links does absolutely nothing.
Expected:
- I click on a link that appears in debug output. It should open up a new tab with the linked file
Actual:
- Nothing happens
Steps to reproduce:
- Created the following test scripts
main.py:
from utils.foo import multiply
def main():
v = multiply(5,6)
print(f"{v}")
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()
utils/foo.py:
def multiply(a: int, b: int) -> int:
raise ValueError("Help")
return a*b;

Larry Du (@LarsDu) We don't check feature requests until they hit their 60 day point since we solicited for votes, but I went ahead and marked this as having enough votes.

#13938 has some notes on ideas.
https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.11.html#pep-657-fine-grained-error-locations-in-tracebacks will let us jump to the column, not just the line.
https://docs.python.org/3.12/whatsnew/3.12.html#improved-error-messages will let us provide quick fixes from the terminal.
