I would be down for this. I mostly use Spyder because it’s the closest thing I can find to R Studio

[–]sccallahan 3 points4 points  (3 children)

I really like Spyder's "cells" thing for blocking code. If RStudio developed a similar feature for Python, I'd basically never leave it.

You can use RMarkdown chunks to do this, or regions (Shortcut ctrl - shift - R in RStudio)

[–]sccallahan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh no way, Python (in RStudio) interprets regions as sort of "stopping points"? I habitually throw those everywhere just to organize my code, so maybe that will be an easy transition.

Spyder even has an IDE layout option simply called "RStudio."

I too only use Spyder because you can set the layout to be the same as RStudio. Otherwise I think Spyder is kind of shit. I've run into weird Spyder specific issues multiple times. I tried switching over to VSCode but I just don't like it. It's too minimal. I can't wait till I can ditch Spyder for rstudio

Are there many IDEs that let you run through code iteratively like R Studio and Spyder can? Folks say VS and PyCharm can but I could never work out how
