Running two python file at the same time in visual studio code

For some reason i cannot run two python programs at the same time in Visual Studio Code, but i managed to solve this problem with the solution of the first commenter:

I opened terminal and search my .py program. Then i write

python3 xy.py

You can just create two terminals in visual studio code to run both files (see here). Or you can create a simple shell script which starts both programs (start a program in the background with a '&' at the end of the command line)

Helpful discussion here: run multiple python scripts at the same time.

Covers the question posted at the title fairly well.

On new window I managed to run the necessary code by typing a command. Run Python File button remains tied too original window.
