Python devs use both styles depending on preferences and app type, IME. The notebook tooling is also great for sharing already set up REPL environments with state.
- fiddlerwoaroof 5y agoSort of: when I wrote a lot of Python, I used REPLs pretty heavily and I’ve also used notebooks a bit. The issue is that Python isn’t designed in a principled fashion for interactive development: reloading imports and other objects doesn’t always work the way you’d expect.
- fulafel 5y agoReloading cross depending modules with identical semantics (vs aappcold startup) is just as fraught in other languages I think. Upgrading existing instances of objects is a bit more automatic in some but then results in surprises and bugs if not anticipated in code.
