exiting the ipython kills ida process

[Michael-amar]

Sorry if its an obvious question,
But when i close the ipython interpreter with
exit(0)
it kills the ida process.
How can I kill/restart the interpreter? I use notebooks and its necessary sometimes.

The Python interpreter in IDA is bound to the IDA process, I don't think there's a way to restart IDAPython without restarting IDA.

When using notebooks, the Jupyter kernel is actually just a proxy to kernel running in IDA provided by IPyIDA.

Why would you need to restart the interpreter? What problem are you trying to solve by doing so?
