Yes, I remember trying to do this myself and reading some tickets about this not working in Py2... Robert (not Bradshaw), can you perhaps submit the patch with the reload stuff taken out for now? Idea: Have pyximport "load" the module by generating a Python file and load it: from pyxbuilds.foo_1 import * Then when reloading this py-file, hook that, do a new compile and overwrite it with from pyxbuilds.foo_2 import * before Python reloads as usual. Could this work? Dag Sverre _______________________________________________ Cython-dev mailing list [email protected] http://codespeak.net/mailman/listinfo/cython-dev
