Yes this is a problem when the notebooks grow, but where do you draw the line, the work flow Jupyter uses is perfect for exploratory coding, but it gets complicated quickly
Yes, to be honest I do much more programming than exploratory data analysis currently. FWIW, here's how I use it when I want to use Jupyter:
- Write all my python code in .py files as usual.
- The Jupyter notebook contains calls to functions generating graphical/HTML/etc output, nothing else.
- Either use one of the various `reload*` functionalities to update the state of the persistent python process, or use `ipython console --existing` to create a conventional ipython shell sharing the same kernel as Jupyter and evaluate code in there.
