PyCharm cell mode

Code tools

General usage instructions

Installation : the easiest way to install is through pycharm builtin plugin search, accessible through Pycharm->Preferences->Plugin (and then search for "cell mode")

This provides actions to execute a python "cell" in PyCharm. A cell is delimited by ##, for example :

##
print 'foo'
if True:
    print 'bar'
##

This plugin provides 3 actions under the Code menu. You can assign keyboard shortcuts to each:

• Run Cell
• Run Cell and go to next
• Run Line under the caret

The cell can be sent to either :

• the internal ipython console
• an external ipython running in a tmux

Option 2. allows you to have a working interactive matplotlib in an external ipython process. Check the "Python Cell Mode" settings in the preferences to switch between the two modes.
