Dear Folks,
I am currently developing a python program, let us call it
"generic.py", and I am testing out the functions therein by testing
them out interactively in the python interpreter by invoking python
and doing
import generic
Once I hit an error, I need to revise my file and reload the module using
reload(generic)
The difference in syntax between invoking import and reload is really
costing me time and patience.
Therefore, I would like to ask:
1. Is there a method of auto-reloading a module while developing it
and testing it with the interactive python interpreter?
2. Is there a better way of developing a program?
Thank you.

You will always find people explaining to you how it can be possible if
you really know precisely how python object model works. If you actually
do, you can possibly read their technics.
But my short answer would be "No, there is no reliable way to reload a
module".
Still there is 'reload' builting function you can call on any module, by
you must understand that it won't affect any other object that the
module itself. New objects created from that module will take effects,
but all objects created before won't.
