Importing the module breaks the interpreter
See original GitHub issueWhen the module is imported in the python interpreter, which can be done not only explicitly, but also just by doing e.g. help(modules), some kind of ipython shell replaces the interpreter. If that can be avoided it is a good thing to do.

This is actually due to my IPython profile, where I use the package to autoreload files while I am using the IPython shell. These are the relevant settings: https://github.com/gnebehay/common/blob/master/dotfiles/.ipython/profile_default/ipython_config.py I don’t think that this package can swap code on-the-fly during debugging, but maybe there are other packages for this purpose.
I think this has been fixed, probably in 0.13.7?
