Working w/ multiple scripts
I have a main .py script and a modular .py script that contains a class I have been developing. While working, I have both python files loaded in Vizard's editor, and the main file imports the modular one.
Sometimes it seems that when I make changes in my modular file, the main python file doesn't immediately recognize them. For instance, if I add a data member called "speed' to a class in the modular file and then try to refer to the 'speed' variable in the main script, I get a "hey, the speed variable doesn't exist!"-type error. Reloading both files in the Vizard editor gets it to work, though - it's as if the scripts gets recompiled/rechecked so that things work again. But surely there is a better way to do this than reloading the scripts every time I make a change, isn't there? |

I have the same exact problem too. The reason is that when you type "import SomeModule", python checks if that module is already imported and ignores it if it is. So even if you make a change to it python will see that it has been already imported and won't do it again. The easiest way to get around this is to do the following instead of importing it:
Code:
try: reload(MyModule) except: import MyModule |

Will that same code still work if I am using
from MyModule import * instead of just import MyModule or does it need a slightly different syntax? Last edited by FlyingWren; 10-16-2003 at 01:46 PM. |

It will need different syntax. The following should work:
Code:
import MyModule reload(MyModule) from MyModule import * |
