I want to make a complement to run-python in python-mode. Here is my snippet:

(defun dpy-run-python ()
  (interactive)
  (when (python-shell-get-process)
      (delete-process (python-shell-get-process)))
  (run-python (python-shell-calculate-command) t)
  (python-shell-send-buffer t)
  )

Explain:

Each time when I run dpy-run-python,it kill running python shell if any exists, then create a new process at the same window, which looks like:

enter image description here

However, my code come out error when executing:

enter image description here

I have read the source code of python.el,it seems like some comint protocols between emacs and python shell process, but I have no idea what should I do.

  • Maybe running as a dedicated process does it for you? C-u M-x run-python RET - and get prompted for decicated. Jun 13, 2022 at 9:12
  • Actually, run-python in my snippet with the 2nd para t means a dedicated process. And the python shell in image is a dedicated process in fact.

  • This is just a guess, but it looks like run-python will pass some special arguments to Python when it runs in a new buffer, but not in an existing buffer. Two suggestions: in part 1 you could not only kill the process but the buffer too; or, if you care about the contents of the buffer, there may be a specialized function you have to call instead of delete-process to tell python mode that you're starting afresh.

  • In order to make sure a running process is killed first, maybe you should not start it as dedicated. Its easier to spot than. Otherwise you need something like M-x list-processes RET. Jun 14, 2022 at 5:57
  • @q.undertow Maybe you're right, there may be some potential arguments. And I do want to keep the contents in buffer. I'll try to look for the functions if any exists.
