The best I've come up with so far is
for pkg in vcat(["IJulia"], collect(keys(Pkg.installed())))
if !isdefined(Symbol(pkg))
info("Importing $(pkg)...")
try (@eval import $(Symbol(pkg))) catch end
end
end
I had to manually add IJulia because it's installed site-wide (in my case).
The try/catch prevents an abort if precompilation of a package fails (e.g.
because Julia has to be reloaded, as happens with some packages). I found
that I usually need to run this at least twice, from a clean state (empty
".julia/lib").
