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.
