"""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``, ``%autoreload now``
Reload all modules (except those excluded by ``%aimport``)
automatically now.
``%autoreload 0``, ``%autoreload off``
Disable automatic reloading.
``%autoreload 1``, ``%autoreload explicit``
Reload all modules imported with ``%aimport`` every time before
executing the Python code typed.
``%autoreload 2``, ``%autoreload all``
Reload all modules (except those excluded by ``%aimport``) every
time before executing the Python code typed.
``%autoreload 3``, ``%autoreload complete``
Same as 2/all, but also adds any new objects in the module. See
unit test at IPython/extensions/tests/test_autoreload.py::test_autoload_newly_added_objects
Adding ``--print`` or ``-p`` to the ``%autoreload`` line will print autoreload activity to
standard out. ``--log`` or ``-l`` will do it to the log at INFO level; both can be used
simultaneously.
``%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.
- While comparing Enum and Flag, the 'is' Identity Operator is used (even in the case '==' has been used (Similar to the 'None' keyword)).
- Reloading a module, or importing the same module by a different name, creates new Enums. These may look the same, but are not.
