    For most use cases, a better alternative to IronPython scripts is Action Mods, which are reusable script components developed in Visual Studio Code with support for debugging as well as IntelliSense (smart assistance including code completion, parameter info, and quick info on functions and variables), integration with AI assistants etc.

    There is a workaround available which can be found at the below link. It is by no means a perfect solution, and an integrated debugger would be beneficial, but until it is there the below terminal is better than nothing.
