Why For reasons of efficiency as well as consistency, Python only reads the module file on the first time a module is imported. If it didn't, in a program consisting of many modules where each one imports the same basic module, the -basic module would be parsed and re-parsed many times. To force rereading of a +basic module would be parsed and re-parsed many times. To force re-reading of a changed module, do this:: - import imp + import importlib import modname - imp.reload(modname) + importlib.reload(modname) Warning: this technique is not 100% fool-proof.
