I'm looking for a way to programatically change the contents of a jupyterlab cell after it has been run as a way to "lock" it. For my specific use-case, my cell essentially looks like curr_id = get_curr_id() data = load_data(curr_id) When I run this, get_curr_id() accesses a database and finds the most recent added dataset. After the cell is run once I want to "lock" this id to the cell, so that even if new data is added to the database, this cell will still reference the original dataset it first saw. I thought the easiest way to do this would be to programatically replace "curr_id = get_curr_id()" with the returned curr_id, but am not sure how to proceed. As more context, the database I am pulling from has new entries added every ~30 min. My typical workflow is to run a cell like above and analyze it. Then ~30 min later copy that same cell and run it again to analyze the new data that came in. However, if I now go back to the first cell, re-running it will now load the newest data, instead of the original data it found. Solution: In any case, I found a solution using ipython, linked below Continue reading...
