Importing module

[Slavko Ilic]

I have two files in same directory(main.py and media.py). When I import media.py to main.py it works fine. But when I make change in media.py and again run main.py it does not recognizes that change. It only
recognizes it if I run file as script, but that reset shell. Is it possibile to make change and than import that module so main file
recognizes that change, but not reseting shell. Code works fine in IDLE, but here I have that problem. Sorry for bad English, I hope you can understand question.

If you import a module, importing it again will not load the actual file again, because Python remembered that it was imported earlier.

 

You can do a dirty trick to force a reload:

Import sys

sys.modules.pop(‘main’, None)

import main

 

But I would in general discourage this. This is essentially why there is a “run as script”.
