With the help of the reticulate package and knitr package, we are able to now embed python and R code in lyx in a reproducible manner. But the problem is that we have to compile the file every time we need to see the execution result of the python/R code. In jupyter notebook, this is not necessary and we can run the code chunks independently.
So the question is whether its possible to implement a similar functionality in future lyx versions? Briefly, the feature could be abstracted in the following manner: 1. Create a procedure to copy the code in the ERT/code chunks, open a new subprocess, in which runs the python/R REPL and paste the code into a subprocess. 2. Run the code. 3. Return the result in the a panel/window. 4. Closed the subprocess. Is something like this possible?
