Local modules don’t update

nadobnikm

Hi Drawbot team,

I have recently started with DrawBot and came across a problem with importing local modules. I am trying to reuse some code within different DB scripts (without making it a PyPI package). Here is my file structure:

myProject
-__init.py__
-main.py
-DBlib
--__init.py__
--utils.py

Here is the top of myProject/main.py:

from DBlib.utils import *

This works, however when running myProject/main.py DrawBot app does not seem to detect changes in myProject/DBlib/utils.py until I restart the app and re-run myProject/main.py. Is there something I am doing wrong with importing my local module?

Thanks!
Maciej

To update the contents of a module, you need to reload it

jo

reload is python 2
afaik in python 3.4 and newer you are supposed to use:

import importlib
importlib.reload(module)

good luck!
