Switch to queue based execution for executing Python code (#25669)

anthonykim1 · web-flow · commit c7efb6e64cd4 · 2025-12-16T09:55:00.000-08:00
Resolves: microsoft/vscode-python-environments#958 Challenge is that sendText would get called when terminal is not ready. And doing `undefined.show()` is the problem. Switching to queue based execution for running REPL commands, which would prevent from us losing the first command as well.
