You probably don't understand what attach does. All it does is execfile
the file that you attached. There are situations where this happening
might be perceived as "the file were not considered". E.g., if you create
an install F of a class Foo defined in a file a.py, then a.py is reloaded,
the object F is *not* somehow magically modified in memory to be an
instance of a the new Foo that was defined in the file a.py. That's not
how Python works, and it would be weird and confusing overall if things
did work that way.
