Hi,
I have a program that talks to a python interpreter through pexpect
(don't bother asking why ;). What I would like to do is occasionally
"reset" the interpreter to the state it would be in if it had just
been launched. I assumed I could simply clear out the globals()
dictionary, minus '__builtins__' and some other important stuff, and
recreate the globals. But even a simple attempt has failed quite badly:
def reset_interpreter():
r"""This method will reset a python interpreters globals
dictionary with
the one provided as the input parameter.
"""
# This will just try to delete all non important keys in globals
for k in globals().keys():
print k
if k == '__builtins__':
continue
else:
try:
del globals()[k]
del locals()[k]
except:
continue
print globals()
This does not seem to work at all, any suggestions?
Yi
