Hello I remember reading somewhere (probably this list) that python may cache the module that starts a program (e.g. 'main.py'). I'm asking because I have found that this can sometimes cause problems when making small edits to the module. For instance, in my current module I changed the name of the main gui widget. When I ran the program, the program started to leak memory like a sieve. I then changed the name back again, and the problem went away. This looks very much like some sort of weird caching behaviour to me.
I've tried deleting the .pyc file and even re-booting, but I can't make the problem go away! Can anyone confirm that this caching happens? And if so, is it documented anywhere? TIA -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
