bgipykernel 0.1.1

Alternative IPythonKernel with concurrent cell running in jupyter using %bg and await

bgipykernel - %bg in jupyter

Install using pip install bgipykernel

Add the following line to your ipython_kernel_config.py file:

c.IPKernelApp.kernel_class = 'bgipykernel.NoAsyncLockBgIPythonKernel'

if you can't find your config file, run ipython profile locate.

features

Move running cells to the background by running %bg

Kill background cells using %kill

See what cells are running in the background using %jobs

Run multiple cells with await concurrently

available configurations

• If you just want to use await in multiple cells concurrently, use bgipykernel.NoAsyncLockIPythonKernel
• If you just want %bg, use bgipykernel.BgIPythonKernel`
• If oyu want both, use bgipykernel.NoAsyncLockBgIPythonKernel

trouble

When using a %bg variant (i.e. BgIPythonKernel or NoAsyncLockBgIPythonKernel), interrupting the kernel can only happen at the byte code level, meaning functions like time.sleep don't get interrupted.
