Hi Patrick,Perfectly understand the situation, I am just afraid that adding a whole 5 seconds every time an InteractiveShell is spawned may slow down everything by a lot. These are spawned a lot of times, so it will stack up. Is there no other way to test for readiness?
Also I think we are providing the ability to run shells outside the context manager as well for some scenarios where it's needed, so this approach won't cover that case unfortunately.
Best, Luca
