How to disable constant popups in Spyder's console - python

I need to get rid of these constant popups in Spyder. They are so frustrating to me. They constantly get in the way of what I am typing, and I can't see the code. I unchecked everything in Tools-Preferences-Linting.

(Spyder maintainer here) The options in "Completion and linting" only work for the Editor. Since you want to disable those hints for the Console, you need to go to
Tools > Preferences > IPython console > Display
and deactivate the option called Show calltips.

How to show python environment objects in a pane in VSCode?

In R Studio, Matlab, and in some Python IDEs (like Thonny) you can see a list of the variables in your environment, together with some summary information like values, type etc.
Is there a way to do this in VSCode without going into debugging mode?
Seems like the closest as it gets to the RStudio Environment window is by installing Jupyter. Then you can type #%% in your .py file and a small "Run Cell" button will appear. Running the cell will open the "Python Interactive Window". There you can click the "See Variables Active" button to open up the Variable Window and see your variables... still a bit painful in comparison with RStudio, this should be integrated in VScode's IDE.
See steps here:
https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/jupyter-support-py#_variable-explorer-and-data-viewer
VS Code has an IPython mode with a dropdown box called Variables that basically does exactly this.
To enter IPython mode all you need to do is highlight a piece of code and hit Shift+Enter
The first time you do it there might be a bit of setting up to do but it was pretty easy to get it working on my Mac. Not sure what it's like on Windows/Linux though
Note: When I use VS Code I open it from the terminal (simply enter the command 'code') after I've activated my conda environment. That way the IPython interpreter uses my preferred conda environment when it launches.

Pycharm: How to focus on Editor when hit a debug point

I am using a mac, with Pycharm version 2018.2.4 Community version.
When I run a debugging session using the debugger and hit a debug point, I have to click on my editor using my mouse to be able to type code on the editor. If I don't do this and hit my keyboard directly, Mac will complain with some "bing" sound, signaling the keyboard input is not valid to any application (my opinion).
How to make my Pycharm auto focus on the editor when hitting the debug point? Or at least focus on the debugger so that I can hit ESC to focus on the editor?
I have selected "Focus application on breakpoint" in the setting.
This is how it should work:
In Preferences, type Focus application on breakpoint into the search bar and be sure it is toggled on.
Apply that setting and exit Preferences.
In your debugger, when you hit a breakpoint, hit the escape key, and your cursor should be blinking in your editor.
For me, I had to disable the setting, apply, re-enable the setting and re-apply once more.
It now behaves as stated above.
There is a bug reported on PyCharm for the same. Here is the link to the issue. The bug is reported for version 2018.2 and still not fixed.

How to see variable content in debuging Eclipse PyDev?

I used to have this ability but for some reason it is gone.
When debugging I used to hover over variable and see its content.. how do I restore this ability?
I just checked it here and it's working for me... In the latest versions, some changes were done to the hover, so, make sure you have it properly configured to show the debug hover.
I.e.: in preferences > pydev > editor > hover
If you have "combine hovers" selected and the "pydev debug hover" checked and the "show variables values while debugging" checked (as image below) it should work.

PyCharm does not highlight errors

I have a problem with PyCharm v2.7.
it does not show me errors.
I have configured it to show them as here
but nothing.
here a screenshot of what I see (no error displayed)
if I run code analysis it shows the errors marked as INVALID in the window but it does not highlight the code.
any idea?
I had this issue recently on PyCharm 2020.3.3 Community Edition.
What I've found is in the top right corner of the editor there is a Reader Mode button.
If you click it you turn the Reader Mode off and then you can see your errors.
You can re-enable it by clicking the book icon
I found. i've enabled by chance the "power safe mode" that avoid error checking. it can be re-enabled by clicking on the little man on bottom right corner.
In my case, I had some ticks disabled in the Python Inspections menu in Settings > Editor > Inspections > Python. I have ticked everything and applied, and now it is working.
I don't really understand why this happened as the problem arose from one day to another. I had even re-installed the whole PyCharm, trying older versions, and deleted the .pycharm configuration folder from home.
I had the same issue with PyCharm Community Edition, v.2016.3.2. To fix,
go to Preferences... from the PyCharm menu, and open Editor/Colors & Fonts/General
Now go to Errors and Warnings/Error under your current schema.
I also had to set my Project Interpreter under Preferences/Project:<name>/Project Interpreter.
See screenshot.
None of the previous answers worked for me when I ran into this issue, but I was able to fix it by doing a hard reset on my PyCharm settings:
From the main menu, select File | Manage IDE Settings | Restore Default Settings.
You will lose all your custom settings this way of course, but this was the only thing that worked for me.
I have tried many things, but only Invalidate Caches did the trick, after that I could hover the green arrow (top right side) and change Highlight to All Problems
I needed to "Add content root" under "Project Structure" in Preferences. I had no content root.
Nothing of this worked for me.
My problem was a single warning: "unreachable code" which blocked all errors from being highlighted.
I removed this line of code (+ the warning) and all errors showed up again.
For me, this problem was a symptom of having created the file in the wrong place without realising. Before taking any drastic actions, check your project structure

Interactive console using Pydev in Eclipse?

I'm debugging my Python code in Eclipse using the Pydev plugin. I'm able to open a Pydev console and it gives me two options: "Console for currently active editor" and "Python console". However none of them is useful to inspect current variable status after a breakpoint.
For example, the code stopped at a breakpoint and I want to inspect an "action" variable using the console. However my variables are not available. How can I do things like "dir(action)", etc? (even if it is not using a console).
This feature is documented here:
http://pydev.org/manual_adv_debug_console.html
The console that opens in the debug perspective is in fact interactive, although it took me a while to realize it. You need to hit return twice after typing something and then it gets evaluated.
More info on the Pydev site here: http://pydev.org/manual_adv_debug_console.html
Double click on "action" or any other variable.
ctrl+shift+D
And if you're using watches, I cant imagine better interaction. You are able to see every change.
When I set a break point and hit F11 Eclipse launches the debugger and prompts to open the "Debug Perspective". You can then open the Window-->Show View --> Expressions which opens the expressions view, you can then right click in the Expressions view windows and choose "Add Watch Expression" to add any expression(such as dir)
Conversely I was also able to type in dir(some expression) in the PyDev console and get the same effect.
I'm using PyDev 1.4.6.2788
On a small monitor, you may not realize that the debug interactive console is different from the regular interactive console: it has a second command prompt at the bottom where you type, not at the top like the normal console.
