Description
Hi,
I have been struggling with using ipython magic command when having python code in my .qmd file.
For some reasons the following code works just fine in a {python} cell:
%timeit [1]*10
while the following would produce a blank space when rendering (say with Quarto preview):
a = [1]*10
%pinfo a
Any idea why?
Executing the cells in VSCode would produce the expected behavior though...
Thanks for your feedback.

Research direction
Reproduce the behavior from the issue's .qmd Python cells using Quarto preview or rendering, comparing %timeit with %pinfo after assigning a. Trace the Python-cell execution and output handling, then confirm that %pinfo a produces the expected rendered output rather than a blank space.
