It looks nice - I kind of wish a lot of these features would have been put into jupyter itself, though. The lack of configurability in jupyter drives me insane. Sure, the configs are editable, but the lack of proper documentation makes it incredibly difficult.

Things like turning off autocomplete and limiting jupyter's ability to freeze my browser after an accidental infininte loop would go miles for me. These days I've just gone back into vim..




Have you tried stopping or killing the kernel? I found jupyter user group on google very responsive when something is not clear or needs to be extended. Google search on jupyter is pretty bad since still points at old ipython docs, although they do have updated docs for jupyter.


Of course. Problem is, a lot of the kernel halt requests don't seem to make it 90% of the time and restarting the kernel gets annoying when using it on larger datasets. Though, it has forced me into writing easily re-runnable code which is kinda good.


There is cell magic to cache your long-running cells.


Too much thread-nesting here :) I had the same problem even in Mathematica with long-running cells. Fundamentally it is hard problem to solve in notebook, compared to terminal. Here is more explanation: https://mail.scipy.org/pipermail/ipython-user/2013-July/0128...


Didn't know about that one - thanks!

Any thoughts on the infinite loop problem, though? I've seen tons of threads for it in stackoverflow/github and not much ever comes from them. Lots of dev he-said-she-saids, though. Pretty big problem for a lot of us.


I replied above - could not reply here somehow initially
