Re:Notebooks as reusable Python programs

The Spyder docs list other implementations of the percent format for notebooks as markdown and for delimiting runnable blocks within source code:
# %%
"^# %%"
Org-mode supports code blocks: https://orgmode.org/manual/Structure-of-Code-Blocks.html :
#+BEGIN_SRC <language> and
#+END_SRC.
Notebook interface; Markdown + MathTeX: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Notebook_interface ;
$ \delta_{2 3 4} = 5 $
$$ \Delta_\text{3 4 5} = 56 $$
The vim plugin I was talking about was vim-slime [0], which seems to date from 2007 and does have regions delimited with #%%.
Slime comes from Emacs originally, but I could not find if the original Emacs slime has regions.
Matlab also has those, which they call code sections [1]. Hard to find when they were introduced. Maybe 2021, but I suspect older.
None of those stores gge output of the command.
