I have always used emacs with python. I generally run my code on the ipython interpreter using C-c C-c.

This is my ~/.emacs.d/init.el in ubuntu where everything works fine. 

(setq python-shell-interpreter "ipython"

On the other hand on my mac I receive the following message when I try to run python interactively with C-c C-c

Start a Python process first with ‘M-x run-python’ or ‘C-c C-p’.

How can I get the same behaviour that I have on ubuntu ? Is this due to the emacs version?

EDIT Additional information:

This is the description of the C-c C-c command on ubuntu.

C-c C-c runs the command python-shell-send-buffer, which is an                                                                                                                                                     
interactive compiled Lisp function.                                                                                                                                                                                

It is bound to C-c C-c, <menu-bar> <Python> <Eval buffer>.                                                                                                                                                         

(python-shell-send-buffer &optional ARG)                                                                                                                                                                           

Send the entire buffer to inferior Python process.                                                                                                                                                                 
With prefix ARG allow execution of code inside blocks delimited

  • What's function is `C-c C-c` bound to in Ubuntu? On my OS X emacs it's bound to `python-shell-send-buffer` which, as you see, wants a running process to work. – sshaw Jan 19 '18 at 01:32
  • how can I check what it is bounded to? – Donbeo Jan 20 '18 at 02:44
  • From the buffer that you're typing `C-c C-c` into type: `C-h k`, this will output a message in the minibuffer to "Describe key". Then press `C-c C-c`. This will open a buffer describing the function bound to that key sequence. – sshaw Jan 20 '18 at 02:56
  • @sshaw I have added some details – Donbeo Jan 22 '18 at 11:16
  • They're bound to the same function. If you run `emacs -Q` on Ubuntu and press `C-c C-c` do you still get the desired behavior? You may just want to add `run-python` to your init file. – sshaw Jan 23 '18 at 02:12
  • running emacs with `-Q` i get the same behavior but the shell is with standard python rather than ipython. Where and how should I add `run-python` to my init file? Can you post an example `init` file? – Donbeo Jan 23 '18 at 10:28

    Add `(run-python)` after setting the 2 `python-shell-*` variables. But `C-c C-c` only sends the buffer (or portion of) to the python repl (sounds like that's okay and what you used to do, but not 100% clear). You still need to open it via `C-c C-z` which, if you don't add `(run-python)`, will prompt you for a command to start. – sshaw Jan 25 '18 at 01:32
  • ok it seems to work on one laptop. If it works also on the other one I'll accept the solution – Donbeo Jan 25 '18 at 16:23
