I could be misunderstanding, but do you mean just doing something like this?

The fact that this fresh take on python interop uses project specific envs AND scratch spaces AND artifacts AND versatile show methods AND … is just insane. I mean c’mon:

So basically:

```julia
@py import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.plot(<stuff>)

```

Edit: haha, also just saw @aplavin doing the same thing earlier in the thread!

Everything basically works fine: packages get installed and imported, plots displayed: play_button Screenshot The packages themselves seem to exist in a single copy in ~/.julia/scratchspaces even if I create multiple notebooks that use matplotlib - they don’t duplicate for each notebook. I don’t really understand how this works though… Still, new directories in /tmp are created for each new notebook run. They are created by Pluto, but Pluto onl…
