This exact problem is solved rather elegantly in Julia. When you upgrade a package that is already loaded in the REPL, it prints a warning: "The following packages have been updated but were already imported: ... Restart Julia to use the updated versions." listing the affected packages. See <https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/blob/19921aa00468edf11f3d61f8c9b8d639ec71cd23/base/pkg/entry.jl#L564>. _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
