Unfortunately a simple reload of the module won't result in the required changes to the local namespace:[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
Hi,
I am a beginner using the python interpreter. To reduce typing effort, I created a module called "aliases.py" containing some aliases for objects I commonly use like -
aliases.py :
import filecmp, os, commands
op = os.path go = commands.getoutput dc = filecmp.dircmp p1 = '/mnt/usbkey/flash/' p2 = '/mnt/fat32/myfiles/flash/'
When I start up the interpreter, I can simply type -
from aliases import *
This works fine, but each time I change any of the definitions in aliases.py, I have to restart the interpreter and type "from aliases import *" again. Is there any way to reload these definitions without restarting the interpreter?
-Slath
reload(aliases)
$ cat test87.py val = 33
>>> from test87 import * >>> print val 33 >>> val = 42 >>> reload(test87) <module 'test87' from 'test87.pyc'> >>> print val 42 >>>
See: http://www.python.org/doc/2.4.1/lib/built-in-funcs.html
By the way, are you aware of the import ... as ... idiom? e.g. import os.path as op
This would, of course, require the user to qualify the names by prefixing them with "op.".
