On Emacs, when I start python with C-c ! while editing a remote python file (using tramp - plinkx: on windows), the python interpreter is started on the remote host.
Is there any way I can edit the remote python file and start a local python interpreter?

python-mode creates an inferior process via
'make-comint
, which uses'start-file-process
, which creates the process relative to the variable'default-directory

'default-directory
to be something local, like:That has the downside that C-x C-f now behaves differently (starting at

).Another is to change the
'default-directory
just for the invocation of'py-shell
, like so (untested):
