 """IPython extension to reload modules before executing user code.
 
 ``autoreload`` reloads modules automatically before entering the execution of
 code typed at the IPython prompt.
 
 This makes for example the following workflow possible:
 
 .. sourcecode:: ipython
 
    In [1]: %load_ext autoreload
 
    In [2]: %autoreload 2
 
    In [3]: from foo import some_function
 
    In [4]: some_function()
    Out[4]: 42
 
    In [5]: # open foo.py in an editor and change some_function to return 43
 
    In [6]: some_function()
    Out[6]: 43
 
 The module was reloaded without reloading it explicitly, and the object
 imported with ``from foo import ...`` was also updated.
 
 Usage
 =====
 
 The following magic commands are provided:
 
 ``%autoreload``
 
     Reload all modules (except those excluded by ``%aimport``)
     automatically now.
 
 ``%autoreload 0``
 
     Disable automatic reloading.
 
 ``%autoreload 1``
 
     Reload all modules imported with ``%aimport`` every time before
     executing the Python code typed.
 
 ``%autoreload 2``
 
     Reload all modules (except those excluded by ``%aimport``) every
     time before executing the Python code typed.
 
 ``%aimport``
 
     List modules which are to be automatically imported or not to be imported.
 
 ``%aimport foo``
 
     Import module 'foo' and mark it to be autoreloaded for ``%autoreload 1``
 
 ``%aimport foo, bar``
 
     Import modules 'foo', 'bar' and mark them to be autoreloaded for ``%autoreload 1``
 
 ``%aimport -foo``
 
     Mark module 'foo' to not be autoreloaded.
 
 Caveats
 =======
 
 Reloading Python modules in a reliable way is in general difficult,
 and unexpected things may occur. ``%autoreload`` tries to work around
 common pitfalls by replacing function code objects and parts of
 classes previously in the module with new versions. This makes the
 following things to work:
 
 - Functions and classes imported via 'from xxx import foo' are upgraded
   to new versions when 'xxx' is reloaded.
 
 - Methods and properties of classes are upgraded on reload, so that
   calling 'c.foo()' on an object 'c' created before the reload causes
   the new code for 'foo' to be executed.
 
 Some of the known remaining caveats are:
 
 - Replacing code objects does not always succeed: changing a @property
   in a class to an ordinary method or a method to a member variable
   can cause problems (but in old objects only).
 
 - Functions that are removed (eg. via monkey-patching) from a module
   before it is reloaded are not upgraded.
 
 - C extension modules cannot be reloaded, and so cannot be autoreloaded.
