Description

Session Goal: The session aimed to configure environment variables in Linux and manage Jupyter Notebook settings within VS Code for efficient development.

Key Activities:

• Added the directory ‘/home/matias/.local/bin’ to the PATH environment variable for both bash and zsh shells, ensuring the changes are applied correctly.
• Implemented interactive-only tags in Jupyter Notebooks using VS Code to manage cell execution during script export.
• Explored methods to prevent code execution in exported Python scripts from Jupyter Notebooks, utilizing #%% cell magic and function wrapping.
• Resolved the Unrecognized flag: '--tag' error in jupyter nbconvert by suggesting upgrades and alternative packages like jupyter_execute_notebook.
• Utilized --TagRemovePreprocessor.remove_cell_tags flag in Jupyter Notebook to exclude specific cells during script conversion.

Achievements:

• Successfully configured environment variables in Linux.
• Enhanced Jupyter Notebook management in VS Code, improving workflow efficiency.

Pending Tasks:

• Verify the effectiveness of the Jupyter Notebook configurations in a real-world project to ensure stability and performance.
