266 Reloading Python modules in a reliable way is in general
267 difficult, and unexpected things may occur. %autoreload tries to
268 work around common pitfalls by replacing function code objects and
269 parts of classes previously in the module with new versions. This

269 272 - Functions and classes imported via 'from xxx import foo' are upgraded
270 273 to new versions when 'xxx' is reloaded.
274
271 275 - Methods and properties of classes are upgraded on reload, so that
272 276 calling 'c.foo()' on an object 'c' created before the reload causes
273 277 the new code for 'foo' to be executed.

277 281 - Replacing code objects does not always succeed: changing a @property
278 282 in a class to an ordinary method or a method to a member variable
279 283 can cause problems (but in old objects only).
284
280 285 - Functions that are removed (eg. via monkey-patching) from a module
281 286 before it is reloaded are not upgraded.
287
282 288 - C extension modules cannot be reloaded, and so cannot be
283 289 autoreloaded.
