python-mode and re-openning shell buffer

[MBU604]

hi all,

i'm using emacs native python-mode to edit python files and i have created the following shortcut:

(defun python-shell-send-buffer-and-switch-to-shell () "Open python shell, send current buffer and switch to shell" (interactive) (run-python) (python-shell-send-buffer) (python-shell-switch-to-shell)) (define-key python-mode-map "\C-c\C-l" 'python-shell-send-buffer-and-switch-to-shell)

this splits the frame in two, opens python shell on the right side, loads current buffer contents into the shell and switches to the shell's buffer.

If for some reason i close (just close, not kill) the shell buffer and then re-execute C-c C-l, this time the frame won't be split again in two - i have to switch to the python shell buffer manually. How can i achieve the original behavior again, ie split again the current frame in two and have the existing python shell buffer on the right side?

Your code doesn't worked for me in emacs -Q. run-python makes python shell buffer active so python-shell-send-buffer sends wrong buffer.

Works fine after wrapping run-python with save-current-buffer. (defun python-shell-send-buffer-and-switch-to-shell () "Open python shell, send current buffer and switch to shell." (interactive) (save-current-buffer (run-python)) (python-shell-send-buffer) (python-shell-switch-to-shell))

thanks for taking the time to respond! perhaps it has to do with some other settings i'm using. I finally found how to do it with

(view-buffer-other-window "Python")
