Problem with any in Ganga shell

[mesmith75]

There seems to be a problem with the IPython shell:

[20:41:15]                                                                                                                                                                  
Ganga In [2]: stat                                                                                                                                                          
Ganga Out [2]: 'completed'

[20:41:21]                                                                                                                                                                  
Ganga In [3]: any(stat == x for x in ["completed", "failed"])                                                                                                               
ERROR    !!Unknown/Unexpected ERROR!!
ERROR    If you're able to reproduce this please report this to the Ganga developers!

NameError: name 'stat' is not defined

In a stand-alone IPython shell this is fine:

In [1]: stat = "completed"

In [2]: any(stat == x for x in ["completed", "failed"])
Out[2]: True

So this looks like a very old bug in IPython shell embedding: ipython/ipython#136, ipython/ipython#62 .

I am not sure there is much we can do about it without great difficulty.
