How to keep variables in memory outside of debugging mode in VSCode?

Question

I am writing python code and switched from spyder to VSCode and I'm wondering if there is a way to keep the variables in the memory outside of the debugging mode.

I want to keep the variables to look inside and/or to run just single lines/sections again without running the whole script.

I think you want a Jupyter notebook style form of programming.
