If you enter the same statements at a raw Python terminal prompt, does
it remain responsive? And if so, what about if you do it in a plain
IPython console? (Is the problem notebook-specific?)
What is the simplest sequence of commands that triggers the hang?
I probably won't be able to offer any suggestions, but if anyone else
has an idea, they probably will want the answers to the above questions.
Also, it's possible I was wrong about the version at which app-nap
handling was introduced; but updating to the latest release is a good
first step in troubleshooting in any case.
