--------------------------------
Summary: Make is_in_ipython robust
Key: BEAM-10764
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-10764
Project: Beam
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: runner-py-interactive
Reporter: Ning Kang
Assignee: Ning Kang
`is_in_ipython` determines if current code execution is within an IPython
environment by attempting to fetch an IPython kernel through
`IPython.get_ipython()`.
If IPython dependency is not available or a `None` is fetched, the result would
be False.
We've been seeing some users using corrupted IPython dependency in their code
base.
If an IPython dependency is present but throws a non ImportError exception, it
will break the Beam usage.
I assume the similar errors would happen if the user uses an IPython dependency
outside the range of versions in setup.py.
I decide to make the function best effort so that it always returns False when
errors occur.
