I was testing some code using %run, then I would modify the code, and run it again, but the new output wouldn't reflect the changes that I'd made. It appears that the problem is the way that I'm using IPShellEmbed. Here is a simple example of the problem, making use of a file called test.py:
In [1]: cat test.py
x=3
from IPython.Shell import IPShellEmbed
ipshell = IPShellEmbed()
def func():
return x
In [2]: %run test
In [3]: x
Out[3]: 3
In [4]: func()
Out[4]: 3
############ now edit the file so that x=4 ##############
In [5]: %run test
In [6]: x
Out[6]: 3
In [7]: func()
Out[7]: 3
However, if I comment out the line "ipshell = IPShellEmbed()" in test.py, restart ipython, and repeat the procedure shown above, then last few input/output look like this (which I believe is the correct behavior):
############ now edit the file so that x=4 ##############
In [5]: %run test
In [6]: x
Out[6]: 4
In [7]: func()
Out[7]: 4
As far as I can tell the problem is specific to IPShellEmbed(), since it doesn't seem to occur when aliasing other functions. Also, it doesn't seem to matter if x is declared inside of func(), or if the import command occurs inside of func().
I'm using ipython 0.8.1, python 2.5.1, Mac OS 10.4.10 on a PPC.
