Code folding cells

[fgiaret]

Hi, I hope this is the right place to ask this kind of questions. I'm currently using Spyder 4.0.0b1 and I find the code folding feature very useful: is it possible to define regions in code, in a way similar to C#?

#region
//some methods
#endregion

If it doesn't already exist, I think that such a feature would be very useful to organise bigger projects.
Thanks!

Yes, you can. In our case (this works in Spyder and also in PyCharm) is

#%%
code
#%%

However, they can't be folded. Is that what you need?

[fgiaret]

Yes, if sections defined by #%%...#%% were foldable/unfoldable, that would be exactly what I meant.

Ok, that's a very good suggestion! We'll try to implement it for beta3.

[fgiaret]

Great, thank you very much!

I like this 👍

I think it would be really great if they respected the code cell levels like the outline explorer with #%%% as a sub cell that would get folded when the top level folds.

I think this is going to be solved in 4.2, thanks to the work @andfoy is doing in PR #13109.
