[IPython-dev] cProfile and iPython

[Benjamin Root]

Hello,

I have found an odd bug when I used cProfile in an iPython shell.  It seems
to not load the same environment as the shell.  The following is a very
simple example:

import cProfile
import math

x = 25
cProfile.run("y = math.sqrt(x)")

This throws an exception "NameError: name 'math' is not defined"

Similar problems occur if I define a function "foo" and call that in run.  I
should also note that using "run -p" works just fine for a cProfile-less
version of the above script.  I am using a stock install of python 2.6.5 and
ipython 0.10 on Ubuntu 10.04.
