Function reload

IPython/lib/deepreload.py:327–341

Recursively reload all modules used in the given module. Optionally takes a list of modules to exclude from reloading. The default exclude list contains sys, __main__, and __builtin__, to prevent, e.g., resetting display, exception, and io hooks.

(module, exclude=('sys', 'os.path', 'builtins', '__main__',
                            'numpy', 'numpy._globals'))
