title: Can VSCode interact with the kernel of current Jupyter notebook?
body: <p>In VSCode, a script with:</p>
  
  <pre><code>#%%
  a = 3
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>creates a Jupyter cell. Running the cell starts Jupyter server and evaluates the code in Python Interactive window.</p>
  
  <p>I would like to interact with this session and pass <code>print(a)</code> to it from a console, without modifying the Jupyter notebook. Is that possible? I cannot find a way to open a Python session in which <code>a</code> would be defined.</p>
