[NEST Users] Re: Strange interaction between NEST and IPython

I am not a python expert, but same behaviour here ... NEST 3.6 (git master HEAD from february 12), Python 3.8.12, Rocky Linux 8.5 Xavier ------------------------------ *From:* Hans Ekkehard Plesser &lt;hans.ekkehard.plesser(a)nmbu.no&gt; *Sent:* Friday, March 8, 2024 3:24 PM *To:* users(a)nest-simulator.org &lt;users(a)nest-simulator.org&gt; *Subject:* [NEST Users] Strange interaction between NEST and IPython Dear Python experts among the NEST Users! I just notice a strange interaction between NEST and Ipython. In a freshly started Ipython, I execute the following three statements import nest n = nest.Create('parrot_neuron', positions=nest.spatial.free([(x, 0) *for* x *in* range(10000)])) n The last one takes extraordinarily long, over 10 seconds, I think. But if I instead do print(n) it executes instantaneously. Also, if I do the same thing in python directly, just entering n shows the NodeCollection immediately. Can anyone reproduce this and does anyone have an idea what might be going on? I am on macOS 14.3.1 with Python 3.12.2, Ipython 8.22.2, and have checked with NEST 3.6 and a branch of recent master.
