Merge pull request #1059 from fperez/__IPYTHON__...
Merge pull request #1059 from fperez/__IPYTHON__ Switch to simple `__IPYTHON__` global to indicate an IPython Shell object has been created. Note that this does *not* try to track whether user code is being executed by ipython via %run, nor whether the Shell object itself is running an interactive event loop or not. So the answer for how people should query whether IPython objects are active is now simply ``` try: __IPYTHON__ except NameError: print 'not in IPython' ``` We do not attempt to track activity levels anymore, as we realized that logic was ultimately to brittle and error prone to be of any real use.

def flag_calls(func):
"""Wrap a function to detect and flag when it gets called.
This is a decorator which takes a function and wraps it in a function with
a 'called' attribute. wrapper.called is initialized to False.
The wrapper.called attribute is set to False right before each call to the
wrapped function, so if the call fails it remains False. After the call
completes, wrapper.called is set to True and the output is returned.
Testing for truth in wrapper.called allows you to determine if a call to
func() was attempted and succeeded."""
