[IPython-dev] MultipleInstanceError

[MinRK]

This shouldn't be something that has changed since 0.11. Are you seeing a
difference between 0.13 and master?

The workaround is to not use `instance` to create new instances of objects.
 The result will be that methods asking for the global instance will
retrieve the original global instance, as opposed to the new one. I don't
know if this is acceptable or not.
