It’s fun to combine jupyter notebooks and py scraping. If you are working 15 pages/screens deep, you can “stay at the coal face” and not have to rerun the whole script after making a change to the latest step.

`ipython -i <script>` also works similarly for debugging, by having the powerful interpreter open after running the script, without the jupyter overhead.
I love the imagery of this being "at the coal face" thanks for that
I write scrapers for fun and notebooks for work but never thought to combine the two. Great idea!
Oh! That's a good idea. My goto has always been pipelining along a series of functions, but never thought of just using Jupyter for some reason.
