How to restart python process in same buffer #2036

Closed uliw closed 11 months ago

uliw commented 11 months ago

While developing, I frequently need to reload modules and submodules, so I have the following function to restart the python process:

(defun elpy-shell-restart-and-send-region-or-buffer (arg)
  "Send the region of buffer after restarting the shell."
  (interactive "P")
  (elpy-shell-kill t)
  (elpy-shell-send-region-or-buffer arg))

However, that allways starts a new window for the new process, which becomes quite messy over time. settting

(add-to-list 'display-buffer-alist
     '("\\*Python\\*" display-buffer-reuse-mode-window))

does not help either. And yes, I am aware that ipython has reload magic, but last time I checked, the ipython output had no way of linking error messages back into the source code. Which is alo quite handy to have.

never mind. Setting (elpy-shell-kill nil) in yteh above code solves the problem
