I don't often have a need to reset the interpreter. Why do you want to? I have a big, 2000-line module, mycalc.py that is a collection of useful functions, most written by myself. I often import one or another function from it and use it in the Ulipad shell. Then I see that the function needs a small revision. I modify it in the module, then want to test it and then use the new version in the shell. I'd like to be able to do this in IPython. What is wrong with relaunching? Hey, IPython is so cool I thought it must have what IDLE has. And relaunching takes longer. Dick ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

OK, If you only import the functions not the whole module reload won't work. But how about deleting the function and then re-importing it? Wouldn't that do it? You could even create a function to do that for you, maybe like: def restart(fn, mod=mycalc): del fn from mod import fn return fn And us it like: from mycalc import foo,restart foo(42) # oops wrong result # go edit foo foo = restart(foo) foo(42) # thats better... This is untested pseudo code but it should work with a bit of effort - eg. you may need to use the programatic mechanism for re importing Just a thought.

I have a different style of working, I guess. I do most work in files. I use an editor which will easily execute the file and show the result. For developing functions I use a unittest, still working from one or more files. So I rarely have to reload a module explicitly. OK, If you only import the functions not the whole module reload won't work. But how about deleting the function and then re-importing it? Wouldn't that do it? No, you do have to reload the module. You could even create a function to do that for you, maybe like: def restart(fn, mod=mycalc): del fn from mod import fn return fn I'm pretty sure that won't work. It needs a reload and the default value for mod is bound at compile time so it will always be bound to the old version of mycalc.
