Problem Description

I would like to run a simple commands:

total = 0
for num in (-22.0, 3.5, 8.1, -10, 0.5):
if num > 0:
total = total + num

What steps reproduce the problem?

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Hi @TT70 thank you for the feedback! Seems like you are trying to run line by line the code you posted, most probably via the F9 shortcut or the Run selection or current line button, right? If that is the case I would say this is related with #4431

This is something we will try to tackle in s future Spyder release but for the moment some suggestions for you to run snippets of code could be to use code cell definitions. For more info on that you can check the related Spyder docs page: https://docs.spyder-ide.org/current/faq.html#using-code-cells

Let us know if the info above helps!
