Execute *JUST* the selected code (eventually removing the tabulation)

[giubenez]

I often want to check if the code I'm writing inside a for loop works or not.. but as far as I can understand, the plugin always select the whole for loop to exectute.

Isn't it possible to execute just the selected chunk , in the same way RStudio does? (if nothing is selected the whole self-standing block is executed, but if I select a part of the code only this part is executed).

Thank you in advance

This is language related problem and has to do with the indentation syntax of Python. When I select multiple lines inside a for-loop this will also select the indentation white spaces. And this is no valid python code. The function therefore tries to add a minimum number of lines until the code becomes valid. To run only the selected lines this would require to manipulate the code before it is passed to the interpreter. I am not sure, if this is enough transparent to the user. I understand your problem, but have to think about a solution. My workaround for this is to unindent the code temporarily.
