如何在 VSCode 的窗格中显示 python 环境对象？

Question

In R Studio, Matlab, and in some Python IDEs (like Thonny) you can see a list of the variables in your environment, together with some summary information like values, type etc.

Is there a way to do this in VSCode without going into debugging mode?

Answer 1

VS Code has an IPython mode with a dropdown box called Variables that basically does exactly this.

To enter IPython mode all you need to do is highlight a piece of code and hit Shift+Enter

The first time you do it there might be a bit of setting up to do but it was pretty easy to get it working on my Mac. Not sure what it's like on Windows/Linux though

Note: When I use VS Code I open it from the terminal (simply enter the command 'code') after I've activated my conda environment. That way the IPython interpreter uses my preferred conda environment when it launches.

Seems like the closest as it gets to the RStudio Environment window is by installing Jupyter. Then you can type #%% in your .py file and a small "Run Cell" button will appear. Running the cell will open the "Python Interactive Window". There you can click the "See Variables Active" button to open up the Variable Window and see your variables... still a bit painful in comparison with RStudio, this should be integrated in VScode's IDE.
