Works for me, see example below #+BEGIN_SRC python :results output :session foo
x=100 print "hello" 2 print "bye" #+END_SRC #+RESULTS: : : >>> hello : 2 : bye #+BEGIN_SRC python :results output :session foo print "hello good bye" print "Printing value from previous session", x #+END_SRC #+RESULTS: : : hello good bye : Printing value from previous session 100 The only difference is that I like to give my session a name and for what it is worth I am using ipython (don't think this will make a difference). You can do this including the following statement in your .emacs file (setq python-shell-interpreter "ipython") (setq python-shell-interpreter-args "--pylab") Hope this help. Cheers, M
