Tools | Run Python Console

Tools | Run Django Console

Python or Django consoles appear in the separate tabs of the Run tool window every time you choose the corresponding command on the Tools menu.
Note that Django console is only available for the Django applications.

Color and font scheme of a console is configurable on the Console Colors and Console Fonts pages of the Colors and Fonts editor settings.

An interactive console is divided into two panes: the lower pane serves for user input, the upper pane displays results and messages.
