enhancement - spyder like variable explorer ide

[johndpope]

It seems the scientific community has gravitated to this IDE
https://github.com/spyder-ide/spyder

for reasons not completely apparent to me.

From what I can see - there is a rather splendid variable explorer where you can input / edit / export variables executed.

It sounds like input panel for debugging, so start with @isidorn .

We currently have options to set variables by double clicking on a variable or via context menu
And no we will not support rich ui like you have attached since VS Code is a minimalistic editor.

thanks for update Isidor
I found this distantly related ticket for variable explorer in python tools for visual studio - microsoft/PTVS#81

Seems like a case where a hard fork of VS code for machine learning could make the most sense.
Unless the extensions could provide a richer ui.

Let's wait and see.
