Python 2.7.3 Web2py 2.2.1 The situation:
In modules directory I have a subdirectory with two files class1.py and class2.py. This is a package (empty __init__.py is present). class2.py imports class1.py and Class2 inherits from Class1. My controller dynamically imports class2 with the function __import__(class2). On top of my db.py model I call the track_changes part. The modules do not seem to be updated if I change code in class1.py or class2.py. I have solved it for now by reloading all the modules with reload() after I import them. So after I dynamically import class2 in my controller I call reload(class2). In class2.py after the import of class1 I call reload(class1). This is the only way I get the code changes to work in both files. It seems that the track_changes part is not working in this situation or something? Or is there another solution?
