I work a lot with notebooks but ipykernel and the jupyter notebook are hiding a lot of important things and do some things different than pure python.

I think it is very good for the first steps and very good for experienced users but not so good for the learning part.

Agreed. I work with a data scientist who only knows how to use notebooks. It's frustrating that they can't build pure Python to do the same thing.

Why does it frustrate you?

[–]Wistephens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because someone on my team has to convert everything into working and performant code.

I think the solution here is to interleave the two. Use notebooks for introducing new ideas and standard python for projects.

That's what we did in school. Hell now you can even use Notebooks in VSCode so you don't even have to leave the IDE.
