IPython/lib/deepreload.py

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
"""
A module to change reload() so that it acts recursively.
To enable it type::

    import __builtin__, deepreload
    __builtin__.reload = deepreload.reload

You can then disable it with::

    __builtin__.reload = deepreload.original_reload
    
Alternatively, you can add a dreload builtin alongside normal reload with::

    __builtin__.dreload = deepreload.reload
    
This code is almost entirely based on knee.py from the standard library.
