Can we label the cells so we know what cell is dying when executing? [Python]

[bryanwhiting]

It's sometimes the case that I have so many cells I don't know which cell is failing.

In r-markdown: https://bookdown.org/yihui/rmarkdown/r-code.html

{r, chunk-label, results='hide', fig.height=4}

I'm using Python.

I don't know if it's possible, but I would assume it is, to display the id (which is the notebook cell identifier, see https://quarto.org/docs/reference/cells/cells-jupyter.html) when available instead of the cell number in Quarto CLI standard output, as it is done in knitr.

@bryanwhiting There is nothing you can do on your hand here I am afraid.

Quarto code example.

```{python}
#| label: mean
#| id: mean1
# compute the mean of a list of numbers
def mean(x):
    return sum(x) / len(x)

# assign a list of numbers to x
x = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

# compute the mean of x
mean(x)
```

Progress bar in knitr display the label:
