[FIXED] How do I embed IPython with working generator expressions?

Issue

Certain list comprehensions don't work properly when I embed IPython 0.10 as per the instructions. What's going on with my global namespace?

$ python
>>> import IPython.Shell
>>> IPython.Shell.IPShellEmbed()()
In [1]: def bar(): pass
   ...: 
In [2]: list(bar() for i in range(10))
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
NameError                                 Traceback (most recent call last)

/tmp/<ipython console> 

/tmp/<ipython console> in <generator expression>([outmost-iterable])

NameError: global name 'bar' is not defined

Solution

Seems to work, but IPython thinks it's the main program. So after instantiating IPShell, a crash shows "whoops, IPython crashed".

import IPython.Shell
ipshell = IPython.Shell.IPShell(argv=[], user_ns={'root':root})
ipshell.mainloop()
