Thanks for the explanation. Could you elaborate on precisely how "everything
else is shared"? As far as I understand, if you run the following code:
from code import InteractiveInterpreter
interp = InteractiveInterpreter()
import numpy as np
interp.runcode("np.__name__")
this will result in the error
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'np' is not defined
which seems to imply that imports in the parent shell are not shared with
interpreters and vice versa (if you swap the places of the import and the
__name__ call).
Thanks,
Jim
