I built something similar to reinteract as well last year. Doing the
simple case isn't very hard - was just deep copying the namespace
before exec'ing each cell and storing those as a python list. As
Robert mentions, doing this type of thing well and efficiently, gets
to be much more difficult.

Hi Jayme,
A while back, I was involved in the Reinteract project [1], which had the same
goal as you with a different mechanism. Reinteract provided a notebook-like
interface, but it recorded the state in which each expression was executed.
When you went back to a previous line, it would rewind
It sounds like you are asking about reverting the kernel computation state
to some previous state. With arbitrary side effects possible, I think this
a difficult problem in general. However, if you constrained your
computation to pure functions, or essentially checkpointed your project
state at eve
Hi Jayme,
two things come to mind immediately - bpython has a linear single version
of this capability - it's called "rewind": https://bpython-interpreter.org/
The more general case sounds related to some of Philip Guo's PhD thesis
work around IncPy: http://pgbovine.net/PhD-dissertation.htm
