[IPython-User] How to deep reload?

[Tom Dimiduk]

While on the topic of deep reloads, I have another question.  How do you 
do deep reloads of packages with imports of numpy?

For example if I use this script:
----------
test.py
----------
import numpy

a = numpy.zeros(1)

-------

And run

In [1]: import test

In [2]: dreload(test)

or

In [3]: dreload(test, exclude=['numpy', 'sys', '__builtin__', '__main__'])

I get the following error:

Reloading test
Reloading numpy
Reloading numpy.numpy
Reloading numpy.show
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
