Feature request: setq-local python-shell-buffer-name after calling org-edit-src-code

[dangom]

So far loving the refreshed scimax-ipython. One little thing I'd like to add is to have calls to org-edit-src-code automatically change the python-shell-buffer-name variable for the editing buffer. This would allow directing python.el's python-shell-send-region and python-shell-send-buffer to the appropriate inferior python. Quite convenient if dealing with multiple files/sessions.

Currently I do this manually by copying the auto-generated session name, and evaluating (setq-local python-shell-buffer-name "Python:ipython-session-name"). Would there be a simple/clean way to do this programatically?

I think this is the place to do it. Can you try it out and let me know if it solves the problem. Ideally this would go upstream to ob-ipython.

(defun org-babel-edit-prep:ipython (info)
  ;; TODO: based on kernel, should change the major mode
  (ob-ipython--create-kernel (->> info (nth 2) (assoc :session) cdr
                                  ob-ipython--normalize-session)
                             (->> info (nth 2) (assoc :kernel) cdr))
  (setq-local python-shell-buffer-name
	      (format "Python:%s" (->> info (nth 2) (assoc :session) cdr
				       ob-ipython--normalize-session)))
  (ob-ipython-mode +1))

This works just fine, thank you.

Calls to python-shell-send-region will send code to the appropriate processes unless the inferior Python buffer does not exist yet (but this is another issue), i.e., one has to first org-babel-switch-to-session to create the buffer.
