I have a fairly basic high-level question on Jupyter notebook kernel connection and long running code.
Let’s say I have a python code that is long running (say, 30 minutes).
Let’s say I execute this code. Then I close the browser. Or I put my computer to sleep. Or any similar action.
Does the code execution continue?
What exactly is the behavior?
Hi James,
When a browser tab is closed (or some variation thereof), cell execution continues. However, obtaining the output of that “background” execution has proven to be a challenge (and a well-known issue).
Here are some references: https://github.com/jupyter/notebook/issues/1647 and https://github.com/jupyter/notebook/issues/2446 to name a couple.
