python not running in powershell ISE [duplicate]

Question

when I type 'python' in either Windows powershell or the Command module (Windows 10), I get into the python environment. However, when I try the same in Windows Powershell ISE, I get an error message as per below. Any guidance as to what to do?

python : Python 3.9.0 (tags/v3.9.0:9cf6752, Oct  5 2020, 15:34:40) [MSC v.1927 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32
At line:1 char:1
+ python

    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (Python 3.9.0 (t...MD64)] on win32:String) [], RemoteException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : NativeCommandError
 
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

Interactive console applications are not supported in ISE. Try to type just powershell.exe in it, and you should get an error message indicating it's not supported; same issue with other interactive console applications, just that it's not a part of the $psUnsupportedConsoleApplications (which you can type into the ISE console) list. Would suggest to use VSC for future use. — Abraham Zinala

You cannot run python interactively from Powershell ISE. Not only python you won't be able to run any interactive console apps.

In order to use python, you need to use start python, which opens up python cmdline in a new window.
