I think this will work... ---- from ftplib import * ... # reload code below import ftplib reload(ftplib) from ftplib import * ---- That should update all the stuff that was imported by ftplib the first time. But you'll have to call it in global space in order to update global space.
I vaguely remember doing it before, that's how sure I am it'll work. If you want to have a method that update's the global namespace do this... def update(): g = globals() import ftplib reload(ftplib) for key, val in ftplib.__dict__: g[key] = val I haven't tried that though, it's just a guess :) GBU Matthew Jeff Shannon wrote: >John Mark Agosta wrote: > > > >>During interactive development one can reload modules that have been >>imported and modified by doing a reload(module_name).
