[Python-modules-team] Bug#841726: ipython3: importing something from ipython has side effects

[Chris Lamb]

Hi,

> ipython3: importing something from ipython has side effects

Many, many Python packages have import-time side-effects that are
far more suble than this. Whilst this a regrettable state of affairs,
fixing them all is just not possible anymore.

A script that imports all packages installed on a system as you
suggest seems to be the problem, rather than ipython itself.

(Thus I don't believe this bug warrants RC severity, but I'll let
someone else change it)


Regards,
