There was a problem hiding this comment.
I would rather just use the typos module, less magic
Create a dedicated module for IPyKernel to run code in. It defaults to using `__main__`, which exposes core parts of the SDK directoly to it. Normally this wouldn't be so bad, except that various tools like the `%reset` magic can cause some trouble: that one resets the state of the namespace that IPyKernel is in to "default" by deleting almost everything. Which, it turns out, includes various `_...` variables that are used by the SDK to do almost everything; after running it no mods worked, and in general the SDK was in a kind of broken state. It might be nice to have access to `__main__` easily, but not as nice as being protected from accidentally destroying everything. :)
