@dsblank has pointed this out on the Jupyter discussion:
you can do this in regular Python, without resorting to any extra magic:
Cell 1:
class MyClass(): def method1(self): print("method1") Cell 2:
class MyClass(MyClass): def method2(self): print("method2") Cell 3:
instance = MyClass() instance.method1() instance.method2() That is, you can define a class recursively, cell by cell. I don't think > the final class is any different from one defined all in one cell. So you > don't need an extra package to "solve" this problem.
I personally like the semantics of jdc, so I won't be removing it from PyPI, but it's always good to know alternatives, thanks @dsblank!
