[IPython-user] dreload numpy - source dir error

[Robin]

Hi,

I thought I had seen this come up but I can't find it - so sorry if it has...

I have an error using dreload with numpy... I get the error about
importing numpy in the source directory whenever I try to dreload
something that uses numpy. For the most part it does seem to work (I'm
not changing numpy - its my own code I'm trying to dreload) but the
long trace back is a bit annoying because it breaks the list of
results when scrolling through the history...

Anyway here is an example:
