Follow and Execute code that breaks around multiple lines in Python (VSCode)

[henningsway]

This is likely not a Quarto core problem, but I haven't found a good solution yet that's why I post here.

I really like, that in RStudio long expressions are executed via a single command, so I don't have to mark the whole expression to run it.

I'd like to achieve the same behaviour with python (using vscode).

Example

a = [1,  # <- executing this line
     2]

results in

Cell In[10], line 1
a = [1,
^
SyntaxError: unexpected EOF while parsing

Is there something that Quarto can do here to help? :)
