Hi Roland, Spyder has an exclusive feature that might fit your needs. It is called UMD, for User Module Deleter. It works in both Python and IPython interpreters.
The idea is to run your script inside an existing console (an already running Python or IPython interpreter), do your things (computing, debugging... your working stuff). Then you may want modify your script or one of the modules that your script is importing, and re-run your script. UMD will reload completely the changes that you made to your files (and default behavior is to notify the user by a warning message that some modules were actually reloaded). In other words, you don't need to reload anything manually. UMD will do it for you. I'm using this method very often, even with complex GUI-based applications: it allows to debug faster because the GUI modules (Qt) are imported only once. I really think that this is one of the more efficient way to interact with Python code, from the simplest script to the most complex application. HTH, Pierre PS: being in vacation right now, I'm sending this email from my phone, so please forgive any weirdness that may be related to it.
