SoS notebook kernel restart fails because socket address already in use in Jupyter-Notebook

[DavidHuebner]

Describe the bug In jupyter-notebook, a kernel restart of a Notebook that uses the sos-kernel (i.e. those notebooks that contain Python AND Ruta code), fails with the following error.

[I 15:34:13.004 NotebookApp] Restoring connection for b0ce13e9-f374-4227-8fb7-9d147ea3f178:696ef6b3b33746d89f672c689160fccc

Afterwards, if the dead kernel is restarted, it works.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce:

1. Copy https://github.com/averbis/IRuta
2. Build the docker image: docker build -t iruta
3. Run the docker image: docker run -p 8888:8888 iruta
4. Open the notebook Notebook [IRuta, IPython] - How to combine Ruta and Python
5. Restart the notebook.

Steps to solve the problem It seems that there is a bug in sos-notebook. I made a ticket there: https://github.com/vatlab/sos-notebook/issues/317

Alternatively, it seems that this error does not exist in JupyterLab.

Versions

• IRuta: version 0.2.0
• sos-notebook: 0.22.5
