title: Is it possible to 'hold' the information of a Python script and run seperate functions, similar to Jupyter?
body: <p>I'm new to Python, sorry if this question doesn't make too much sense.</p>
  <p>I have a script that loads in large amounts of data, and then performs a function. After the function is called, the script is closed. This means that every time I want to run the script, I need to wait for this data to load in. But the function itself only takes a few seconds.</p>
  <p>Is it possible that I can have the python script running similar to a jupyter notebook, and then call the function in the script whenever needed?</p>
