Hi, I'm not sure if it's a bug or if it's something I have missconfigured, but there it goes. I'm using maint Org-mode version 8.3.6, release_8.3.6-4-g4835be.dirty. The init file I'm using to debug is: #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/lisp/org-mode/lisp/") (add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/elpa/python-mode-20160114.2307/") (require 'python-mode) (require 'org) (setq py-shell-name "/usr/local/bin/python3") (setq org-babel-python-mode 'python-mode) (org-babel-do-load-languages 'org-babel-load-languages '((python . t))) #+END_SRC I have a tree with the SESSION propertie set to "exercici". Under that tree, two source blocks: #+BEGIN_SRC python import base64 #+END_SRC #+BEGIN_SRC python hex_string = "49276d206b696c6c696e6720796f757220627261696e206c696b65206120706f69736f6e6f7573206d757368726f6f6d" print(base64.b64encode(bytes(hex_string))) #+END_SRC When evaluating the first one, in the message buffer appears: "if: Buffer *Python-set* does not exist or has no process". Also, a buffer called "*ulb Python3*" has appeared. What it seems to happen is that the "ulb" buffer is created instead of the one called "Python-$sessionName". It only happens when using python-mode set on 'org-babel-load-languages. I'll add the complete backtrace at the end of the e-mail. If I can add more information, just ask for it.
