In Jupyter there is always running event loop which allows you to interactively execute code while having some coroutines running in background (e.g. launched with asyncio.create_task ). Such behavior makes testing concurrent code much easier. Is it possible to somehow achieve same behavior in ipython?
I use python 3.8 and ipython 7.12.
You can achieve this with aioconsole. Just install it with pip :
pip3 install aioconsole
You can then run the apython command to run the interactive asynchronous python shell in which you can run asynchronous code. Example of usage :
$ apython

This console is running in an asyncio event loop.
It allows you to wait for coroutines using the '{0}' syntax.
Try: await asyncio.sleep(1, result=3)

>>> await asyncio.sleep(1, result=3)
3
>>>
