Accessing variables from IPython interactive namespace in a script

Question

Is there an easy way to access variables in the IPython interactive namespace. While implementing a project that has a slow load command, I would like to run a script to load t

Try using the -i option on IPython's magic run command; it makes the script run using the current interactive namespace, e.g. with

load.py:

a = 5

tst.py:

print a

From IPython I get;

In [1]: from load import *

In [2]: run -i tst
5
