"""
Start an IPython shell in the current coroutine.
Unlike using :func:`IPython.embed` directly, the :keyword:`await` keyword
can be used directly from the shell to wait for triggers.
The :keyword:`yield` keyword from the legacy :ref:`yield-syntax` is not supported.
This coroutine will complete only when the user exits the interactive session.
Args:
user_ns:
The variables to have made available in the shell.
Passing ``locals()`` is often a good idea.
``cocotb`` will automatically be included.
.. note::
If your simulator does not provide an appropriate ``stdin``, you may
find you cannot type in the resulting shell. Using simulators in batch
or non-GUI mode may resolve this. This feature is experimental, and
not all simulators are supported.
