Right now, Django is the only Python web framework which we have special support for, and yes, this includes starting the server for you (and also opening the browser and navigating to the local website).

For everything else, you'll need to use the regular console for the time being. This VS extension might be of help there.

Given that running various shell commands in project root is not an uncommon activity when developing Python code, and that we can't special-case all the numerous frameworks out there, it does actually sound like an interesting feature for us to consider. I believe we don't have it in the issue tracker in the moment, so go ahead and add it there.
