[python] Pycharm: run only part of my Python file

Is it possible to run only a part of a program in PyCharm?

In other editors there is something like a cell which I can run, but I can't find such an option in PyCharm?

If this function doesn't exist it would be a huge drawback for me... Because for my data analysis I very often only need to run the last few lines of my code.

I found out an easier way.

• go to File -> Settings -> Keymap
• Search for Execute Selection in Console and reassign it to a new shortcut, like Crl + Enter.

This is the same shortcut to the same action in Spyder and R-Studio.

Pycharm shortcut for running "Selection" in the console is ALT + SHIFT + e

For this to work properly, you'll have to run everything this way.

1. Go to File >> Settings >> Plugins and install the plugin PyCharm cell mode
2. Go to File >> Settings >> Appearance & Behavior >> Keymap and assign your keyboard shortcuts for Run Cell and Run Cell and go to next

After you've enabled, set a break-point to where you want it to:

After you're done setting the break-point:

Once that has been completed:
