iPython behaves strangely only with Django shell

[Yo-Yo Ma]

The following gist demonstrates a strange phenomenon, which occurs when I use ``python manage.py shell``, but not when I use ``ipython`` alone.

I'm not certain whether this is a known issue, or whether it's even a Django bug, but certainly nothing of the sort occurs in iPython when used alone. This occurs with ANY name. I first noticed it when I tried to create a form, and there was a name error on ``forms`` on the line of my first field declaration.

This looks like some sort of error in your environment; I can't reproduce it::

$ ./manage.py shell
In [1]: import decimal

In [2]: class F(object):
...: d = decimal.Decimal('0')
...:

In [3]:

$ ipython

In [1]: import decimal

In [2] >>> class F(object):
...: d = decimal.Decimal('0')
...:

In [3]:

I was able to reproduce this, no idea what the cause is though: http://bpaste.net/show/Fyi0eK1ILaLKRPqnMc8M/

This is almost certainly related to https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/18204

I can repro just as Alex Gaynor did, and the patch from the above
ticket fixes it.

Best,
