csc 21.8.0

Run python scripts cell by cell.

csc - execute scripts one cell at a time

Install with

pip install csc

Sometimes it may be helpful to run individual parts of a script inside an interactive environment, for example Jupyter Notebooks. csc is designed to support this use case. The basis are Pythn scripts with special cell annotations. For example consider a script to define and train a model::

#%% Setup
...

#%% Train
...

#%% Save
...

Where each of the ... stands for arbitrary user defined code. Using csc.Script this script can be executed step by step as::

script = csc.Script("external_script.py")

script["Setup"].run()
script["Train].run()
script["Save"].run()

To list all available cells use script.names().

The variables defined inside the script can be accessed and modified using the ns attribute of the script. One example would be to define a parameter cell with default parameters and the overwrite the values before executing the remaining cells. Assume the script defines a parameter cell as follows::

#%% Parameters
hidden_units = 128
activation = 'relu'

Then the parameters can be modified as in::

script["Parameters"].run()
script.ns.hidden_units = 64
script.ns.activation = 'sigmoid'
