Super simple streamlit app reruns on start (side/effect), not clear why

🎈 Using Streamlit
1

I just have this simple streamlit Hello.py

import streamlit as st

st.set_page_config(
    page_title="Hello",
    page_icon="👋",
)

st.write("# Welcome to Streamlit! 👋")

st.sidebar.success("Select a demo above.")

st.markdown(
    """
    Streamlit is an open-source app framework built specifically for

    of what Streamlit can do!

print("haha")

I run it with streamlit run Hello.py,
however, I am seeing that the haha prints between 2 to 4 times…
Should I expect that it should only be called once? What is causing the rerun?

Hi @hackgoofer

Typically, when there’s widget interaction, these would trigger an app re-run. Were there also other widgets in the sidebar?

Hi @hackgoofer,

haha prints only once for me. Maybe, you could either try:

  1. closing your DOS & browser windows of your streamlit app and reload your app again to check
  2. If that fails, re-install streamlit

Cheers
