Python: Use Jupyter kernel in VSCode

I am using Python 3 in Visual Studio Code (latest version).
I am wondering if there is a way to run Python scripts (in .py format) in VSCode adopting Jupyter Notebook as default terminal (instead of Powershell).
In a few words, I would like to make VSCode similar to Spyder IDE, which uses Jupyter Notebook as terminal and shows script variables in Variables Explorer.
Thanks in advance.

Using Jupyter extension you can create notebooks and interactive windows.
By clicking the Variables icon in the top toolbar after running code and cells, as mentioned on vscode documentation, you can view your variable explorer.

How to interpret .py files as jupyter notebooks

I am using an online jupyter notebook that is somehow configured to read all .py files as jupyter notebook files:
I am a big fan of this setup and would like to use it everywhere. On my own jupyter installation however, .py files are just interpreted as test files and are not by default loaded into jupyter cells. How can I achieve the same configuration for my jupyter notebook?

What you're looking for is jupytext.
You just need to install it into python env from which you're running your jupyter notebooks:
pip install jupytext --upgrade
And you get this:

That's not exactly what you asked, but you can achieve something close to that by using the magic %load FILE.py in a new jupyter notebook.
%load FILE.py will copy the contents of FILE.py in the current cell upon executing it.

You use the python code in your Jupyter Notebook by just pasting the whole code in a cell OR :
%load pythonfile.py to load code from a file (not necessarily .py files) into a jupyter notebook cell;
%run pythonfile.py in order to execute the file instead of loading it (outputs whatever that file outputs).
Also, pythonfile.py should exist in the cd or you can use its full path.

Just installed Jupyter using Anaconda but can't run it using terminal. Says command not found

I just bought my very first Mac after using Windows my entire life and have been trying to install things. I am also still kind of a beginner at programming.
I installed Anaconda for Python 2.7 version, and then I installed the 3.7 version right after.
I tried going to terminal and typing jupyter notebook but it says:
zsh: command not found: jupyter
I am able to launch a jupyter notebook (I think) when I search for jupyter notebook in spotlight and executing the top hit.
I've been reading a lot on forums about this issue and see a lot of people talking about PATH which I am not really sure about.
I've seen people also post their which python information and theirs seem very different from mine:
which python3
usr/bin/python3
which python
usr/bin/python
Any help would be appreciated! Still learning how to set up this Mac. Thank you.

3.1.2. Change Jupyter Notebook startup folder (Mac OS)
To launch Jupyter Notebook App:
Click on spotlight, type terminal to open a terminal window.
Enter the startup folder by typing cd /some_folder_name.
Type jupyter notebook to launch the Jupyter Notebook App The notebook interface will appear in a new browser window or tab.
From what I can understand you are not changing to the startup directory of Jupyter.

You need to add jupyter to your path.
In your terminal, type in the following command:
export PATH="/PUT JUPYTER PATH HERE:$PATH"
Then try jupyter notebook
Reasoning: If installing using pip install --user, you must add the user-level bin directory to your PATH environment variable in order to launch jupyter lab

Script to run a jupyter notebook automatically

I have a jupyter notebook with both html and python code in it. Is it possible to write a script that will launch the notebook and run it in the browser? Most solutions on the web refer to running these scripts from the command line, but I want them to show up on the

I'm not sure what OS you're on, but here's a small batch file that moves into my directory with my .ipynb files, starts Jupyter, and then opens a specific notebook of mine:
cd "%userprofile%\desktop\att"
start chrome.exe http://localhost:8888/notebooks/ATT_SQL.ipynb#
jupyter notebook
I just put this on my desktop and double click it to start Jupyter. Just replace your notebook's name where mine is ATT_SQL.ipynb#. You'll also have to change the cd command as well.
Edit:
Or better yet:
cd %userprofile%\path\to\your\jupyter\dir
jupyter notebook yourNotebook.ipynb

Activate ipython notebook autocomplete in .py files

I have a .py file shared with other colleagues that we are modifying almost in parallel. I would like to modify it with ipython notebook. Notebook opens it correctly and even interpret it with colors. Nevertheless, it does not auto complete when I'm programming.
I wonder whether is possible to activate the autocomplete on .py in notebook.
Thanks.
