Interrupting Flask app in iPythonNotebook cause ZMQerror [duplicate]

Question

I'm trying to run a most simple demo of flask app in an iPython notebook like this.

from flask import Flask
app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/')
def hello_world():.
    return 'Hello World!'

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run(d)

The first time I run it, all is fine. Then I interrupted the cell with app.run() in it. But the next time I run it, the notebook throws back some error message like this:

An exception has occurred, use %tb to see the full traceback.

SystemExit: 1

Then I %tbed and get the following traceback:

SystemExit                                Traceback (most recent call last)

    771         try:

    773         finally:

    251     except KeyboardInterrupt:
    252         pass

SystemExit: 1

Not telling me much so I looked at the cmd where I started iPython and see this: Traceback (most recent call last):

ZMQError: Address in use

Seems iPython notebook server didn't handle my interruption properly. But when I tried to look for the ghost process, which listens to port 5000, I got nothing. I guess a reboot may most probably fix everthing, but just wondering if there's a fix that does not require a reboot?

Answer 1

Set debug=False

app.run(debug=False)
