[Q&A]: setup 'cell' behaviour in book project
lmoresi opened this issue · 1 comments
What's your question?
Great plugin / extension. Really great start at making code snippets work for web documents. Installation of the current version of the extension
My question is related to the setup cell/s that I would like to use to install some files in the local filesystem so students can practice reading and writing simple files in python (before they get to more complicated packages to do this for them).
The simplest example is below. I define a variable in a setup cell, and try to reference it later.
If I change the first cell to run interactively, it works, of course. I am not sure how to debug (how to see if code in the setup is run but in the wrong namespace ?) or if this is simply not yet fully implemented. Is this my issue or should I raise this as a bug ?

```{pyodide-python}
#| context: setup
x = 1
```
```{pyodide-python}
#| context: interactive
print(x)
```
Output of cell 2:
