ob-python newline & indentation behavior in :session is very ugly and
possibly broken. For example, consider the following code block:
#+BEGIN_SRC python :session :results output
foo = 0
for _ in range(10):
foo += 1
foo += 1
print(foo)
#+END_SRC
Ideally this would print "20", but instead it prints "11",
because the second "foo+=1" is executed after the for loop.
OTOH "python-shell-send-region" (from python.el) gives the correct
answer of "20".
The inconsistent behavior of "python-shell-send-region" and
"org-babel-eval" often causes me problems, because I want to use both
(the former for testing and async eval; the latter for inserting into
the document).
There is a 2 year old patch that fixes this behavior but has not yet
been incorporated:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2015-03/msg00505.html
The patch follows the python.el behavior of using a temporary file and
executing that from the shell.
Could this patch, or something similar, be incorporated into org-mode,
to fix this behavior?
Thanks,
