I'm going to guess you have an eval() somewhere in there for this to work. If not, just ignore the rest of this message and send me the patch for ipython itself :) It's worth mentioning that I removed this very functionality from ipython a long time ago, precisely because... > Does what you'd expect, even if it will mangle iterators in strange > corner cases. of this. After a few very puzzled users who lost quite a bit of time tracking down a problem caused by this, I decided to more or less eliminate all eval()s from ipython during the introspection phases. Today, if %autocall is off, no silent evals can ever happen, and even with autocall on, they are avoided if at all possible. Just a comment, you guys decide how to patch/fork your own versions as you best see fit, of course.
