VS code now supports running .py scripts in chunks using # %% comments. For example, the following .py script could be executed in two separate chunks by hitting Shift + Enter twice.
# %%
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
# Simulate data frame with 3 numeric columns
df = pd.DataFrame({
'Column1': np.random.rand(100),
'Column2': np.random.rand(100),
'Column3': np.random.rand(100)
})
# %%
# create a scatterplot between Column1 and Column2 from df
plt.scatter(df['Column1'], df['Column2'])
plt.xlabel('Column1')
plt.ylabel('Column2')
plt.title('Scatterplot of Column1 vs Column2')
plt.show()
