Passing variables to script from the workspace

[amelio-vazquez-reina]

Say I define several variables in an IPython session:

In [4]:   a = 3
...
In [6]: c= 10 

And say I have a Python file called foo.py

with the following contents:

print "Hello", a
print  "World", c

Whenever I try

In [10]: run foo.py

I get undefined a

because the script is not receiving the variables in the workspace. How can I pass these variables to the script without changing the script?

run starts in a clean namespace by default. You want %run -i foo.py.
