Since reload is not available yet, what is the best workaround for re- compiling changed source for imported modules?
Execfile is a good option for many situations and was implemented to
make sure we had at least a partial reload story.
Thanks, that *is* a better work-around. Too bad execfile doesn't take a globals argument - then we'd have reload for free. And exec barfs on exec "import ~", so that isn't an option either for now.
Until we get great
That's very much the set-up I use with CPython, albeit with a wxPython-based shell. But I think you'll be able to make reload in less time than it would take me to learn emacs ;-)IDE support, one of my favorite ways of driving Python is with emacs mode. I'll edit my script in one buffer and then use the emacs command to execfile that code in the open interactive buffer. This works great when you're working on a single module at a time. Does this help?
A simple version of reload shouldn't be that much work. I don't know why it fell off the radar for this long. We'll get that running in the next 1-2 weeks for 0.7.4.
Thanks - Jim
I'll look forward to it.
Cheers
Michael
