 ''' IPython customization API
 
 Your one-stop module for configuring & extending ipython
 
 The API will probably break when ipython 1.0 is released, but so 
 will the other configuration method (rc files).
 
 All names prefixed by underscores are for internal use, not part 
 of the public api.
 
 Below is an example that you can just put to a module and import from ipython. 
 
 A good practice is to install the config script below as e.g. 
 
 ~/.ipython/my_private_conf.py
 
 And do 
 
 import_mod my_private_conf 
 
 in ~/.ipython/ipythonrc
 
 That way the module is imported at startup and you can have all your
 personal configuration (as opposed to boilerplate ipythonrc-PROFILENAME 
 stuff) in there.

+         
         This utility routine is meant to ease interactive debugging work,
         where you want to easily propagate some internal variable in your code
         up to the interactive namespace for further exploration.
 
         When you run code via %run, globals in your script become visible at
         the interactive prompt, but this doesn't happen for locals inside your
         own functions and methods.  Yet when debugging, it is common to want
         to explore some internal variables further at the interactive propmt.
 
         Examples:
 
         To use this, you first must obtain a handle on the ipython object as
         indicated above, via:
 
         import IPython.ipapi
         ip = IPython.ipapi.get()
 
         Once this is done, inside a routine foo() where you want to expose
         variables x and y, you do the following:
 
         def foo():
             ...
             x = your_computation()
             y = something_else()
             
             # This pushes x and y to the interactive prompt immediately, even
             # if this routine crashes on the next line after:
             ip.to_user_ns('x y')
             ...
             # return           
         
         If you need to rename variables, just use ip.user_ns with dict
         and update:
         
         # exposes variables 'foo' as 'x' and 'bar' as 'y' in IPython
