Features:

• Attempts to strip common leading whitespace (see nteract/hydrogen#862)
• Variable explorer (see nteract/hydrogen#64)

Compatibility:

• Hydrogen version 2.3.0 or later
• Variable explorer has only been tested to work with Python 3.5 or later. Pull requests to add Python 2 support are welcome.

Lets you select and run code blocks that are indented (e.g. inside a function). No configuration needed.

Example:

def foo():
    x = 1
    print('x is', x)
    # Select the above two lines and run them with Hydrogen!

Does not work if the first line ends in : and you have a comment after, i.e.

if True: # having a comment here breaks things
    print("This doesn't work!")

It also can have unexpected results if you select some code that is malformed to begin with, e.g.

x = 1
    print("x is", x) # This works even though it shouldn't

(Pull requests are welcome to fix the first issue; the second probably can't be fixed without changing the Hydrogen package)

Activate using the "Hydrogen Python: Toggle Variable Explorer" command.

This feature is currently in proof-of-concept status. Please file an issue about any functionality you want to have in the variable exploror!
