Not sure that is a possibility yet. For the moment you could try asynchronous export as a workaround. That said, I am curious why you are knowingly tying a computationally intensive (possibly buggy, during development i.e.) process with your editor. I have to work on some fairly computationally intensive analysis with Python. I always keep them in separate modules and scripts run from the shell. Hope this helps, -- Suvayu Open source is the future. It sets us free.
