Answer 1

This can also happen if you've been working on your scripts and functions and have been moving them around (i.e. changed the location of the definition) which could have accidentally created a looping reference.

You may find that the situation is solved if you just reset the iPython kernal to clear any old assignments:

%reset

or menu->restart terminal
