It works as documented. reload() argument must be a module. If you have only module name, sys.modules is a mapping of module names to modules. It is trivial to combine two things in one line. And why do you want to reload a module by name (without having a reference to module itself)? In general, reload() should be used with caution, it is easy to misuse it. ---------- nosy: +brett.cannon, eric.snow, ncoghlan, serhiy.storchaka _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue43037> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
