Hmm, I hadn't thought of those two approaches. Right now, I am simply running "ipy main.py" whenever I make a change. However, that takes almost as long as compiling a C# assembly, which is what I thought we were trying to avoid :-). Thank you, Rocco

From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Pigneri, Rocco Sent: Tuesday, January 15, 2008 8:23 AM To: users@lists.ironpython.com Subject: [IronPython] Reloading Modules Dear all, While I know that this could be a more general Python question, since IronPython has its own interpreter, I thought that I should probably ask this question here in case it actually is IPy specific. Also, I am new to Python so if there is a document somewhere that answers this question, I am more than happy to read it if someone points me to it. So, the question. I have a program that has multiple classes. Since I have a C#/Java background, I have so far put all these classes in a separate file, and thus in a separate module. They are organized like this: - Main.py calls - ApplicationForm Class which contains - Widget Class Main pretty much just creates a new ApplicatoinForm instance and displays it. ApplicationForm then has some Widget instances on it. When I make a change to the Widgets, I find myself reloading the Widget module, then the ApplicationForm module, and then finally Main.py in order to have my changes reflected on the form. However, I know that this is somewhat against the Python philosophy of dynamic changes while running a program. Is there a better way to do this, or do I have to use this process because I'm using Windows Forms? Also, if I do have to continue using this process, is there a quick one-liner that I could use to reload all my changes without having to reload each module by hand? Thank you, Rocco
