I just updated to SDK 1.7.3 running on Linux. At the same time I switched to the SQLite datastore stub, suggested by the depreciation message.

After this, edits to source (python) files are not always detected, and I have to stop and restart the SDK after every edit. Occasionally it starts working for a run, then stops working again. Jinja2 template file modifications are being detected properly, presumably because it has it's own file change detection.

I asked on Stackoverflow, but apart from one other person with the same problem, got no responses. This is intensely annoying. Is anyone else seeing this? Any ideas on how to diagnose and fix it?

Cheers!
Greg.

Not sure if it is the same issue but my symptoms are similar. After updating to SDK 1.7.3 on Windows 7 I have noticed that the compiled Python files (.pyc files) are not always overwritten when I modify a source (.py) file and it is executed. I never noticed this before SDK 1.7.3 and I have not taken the time to track down what exactly is happening. For now, when I notice this happening I delete the .pyc file in question and then restart the dev server and the .pyc is re-created properly and everything works for a while. Eventually pyc files stop being overwritten again and I have to go through that process again. The dev server is being run by my user and the pyc files are owned by my user so if it is a permissions issue it is a weird one.

I've been seeing this on Mac as well. Very misleading and annoying.

+1 on Windows 7, on an old app, very annoying since it uses default datastore and a reset takes more than a minute

Has anyone created an issue on the tracker? I'd star it too. (Mac OS)

Issue #8383:
http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=8383

Some suggestions of workarounds in there too.  They didn't help me though.

For me too the same issue occurs. Need to restart the server in order to get the changes in the source.

Our team is also facing this issue. Mac OS 10.8.2 with SDK 1.7.3 and also on Windows 7.

Very frustrating to have to restart the dev environment after changes!  Wasting hours of developers' lives.

Seems you're caching code.  Impossible to troubleshoot in this environment.  Sometimes, the logging quits working, too.

+100

OSX 10.7.5, SDK 1.7.3

Has anyone checked if 1.7.4 fixed this problem?
