__PYTHON_EL_eval_file prints in interpreter when sending python file from buffer using C-x C-l

Question

Whenever I send the a Python buffer to the interpreter via C-x C-l it prints the file eval call as shown below. While it does print the correct output, it's a bit annoying to see it every time and I'd like help getting rid of that behavior.

My question is, How to get rid of the __PYTHON_EL_eval_file("/Users/user/Documents/Sandbox/Python/test.py", "", False) that prints in the interpreter when the file is sent with C-x C-l?

Input

def main():
    print("Hello World!")


if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

Output

>>> __PYTHON_EL_eval_file("/Users/user/Documents/Sandbox/Python/test.py", "", False)
Hello World!

I'm running on MacOS Ventura 13.2.1 (22D68), using Emacs from EmacsforOSX.

Here's the output of running M-x elpy-config.

Warnings

You have not activated a virtual env. It is not mandatory but often a good idea
to work inside a virtual env. You can use `M-x pyvenv-activate` or `M-x
pyvenv-workon` to activate one.

The directory ~/.local/bin/ is not in your PATH. As there is no active
virtualenv, installing Python packages locally will place executables in that
directory, so Emacs won't find them. If you are missing some commands, do add
this directory to your PATH -- and then do `elpy-rpc-restart'.

Answer 1

This is a hack, but it worked for me:

(defun python-comint-filter (output)
  (let* ((regexp "^.*__PYTHON_EL_\\(.*\\)\\(.*\\)[[:space:]]*$")
         (lines (split-string output "\n"))
         (filtered-lines (remove-if (lambda (line)
                                      (or (string-match-p regexp line)
                                          (string-match-p "^\\s-*$" line))) 
                                    lines)))

    (if (equal (length lines) (length filtered-lines))
        output
      (mapconcat 'identity filtered-lines "\n"))))

and

I'm having the same issue. However, this problem only occurs with Python downloaded and installed from https://www.python.org

The issue can be fixed when I install Python with macports. I installed Python like this, maybe it can help you.

sudo port install python311
sudo port install gnureadline

# if you need to use tkinter
sudo port install tk +quartz
sudo port install py311-tkinter

Happened to me on Homebrew's Python 3.11. The solution was to install it via pyenv, and set it to be the global interpreter.You'll have to have pyenv's bin path recognized by Emacs (if you're on Doom you have to run doom env).

Answer 4

Yes, that’s what python-shell-send-file does. It sends code to be evaluated in the python repl that will cause the named file to be loaded and evaluated. The code that accomplishes this is bundled up into a pthon function called __PYTHON_EL_eval_file. This function’s name was chosen specifically so that it is unlikely to conflict with any functions that are part of the code you are writing.

You could use python-shell-send-buffer instead, if you want to paste the whole buffer contents into the repl.

This same issue arose for me when I installed py-python-lsp-server (and python-lsp-server_select) using MacPorts and didn't select both that and python3.10 (also installed with MacPorts) using:

sudo port select --set python python310

sudo port select --set python-lsp-server py310-pylsp

I did this, ran doom sync, then restarted emacs, and the issue was gone.
