Bokeh server restart on interactive python session

Well, maybe I understand now. You would really need to restart the interpreter. I won’t say it is impossible to accomplish something without restarting, but it was not designed with this in mind, and would be atypical, undocumented usage. You would need to blow away all the old server and app in some way and start a completely new one in the running interpreter, which is going to be tedious. YMMV
