Changing the module not taking effect in calling module

Hi,

I've a module report.py having a set of funtions to open/close/write
data to a log file. I invoke these functions from another module
script.py.

Whenever I'm changing something in report.py, I'm running the file
(however, it has not effect). After that I'm running script.py again.
However, the output is not taking effect.

If I shut the IDLE interpreter and all the other files and then reopen
again; and then run script.py, the output is taking effect.

Is there any way to improve it? I'm new to Python.

-Gopal.

you could try "reload(module) " instead of "import module" or running the file.

If I understand you correctly, you are importing your module report in
script.py. If so, you need reload.

When in IDLE, you have a python process running, in which you execute
your program. The first time you run script.py after starting IDLE, your
module report is imported from file. The next time you run script.py,
there is already a module named report in memory. Then the corresponding
file will not be executed again. Instead, the one in memory will be used.

What I do when I am developing a module for a program is that I both
import and reload the module in my main file. Once I think I am done
developing, I remove the reload statement. So, in your script.py, I
would write:

import report
reload(report)

Hi, I am a VB.net beginner, I do not know what are the major difference between Module vs Class. Could someone guide me when is the best situation to use Module or Class.

Hi, I'm working on an application in C# that will allow the user to create simple CAD drawings on a CEPC system.

Calling LoadCursor followed by SetCursor does allow me to change to a different cursor, such as the cross cursor, but as soon as the application leaves...

I've got a bunch of code that runs under a bunch of unit tests. It'd be really handy if when testing I could supply replacement functionality to verify that the right things get called without those things actually getting called, since frequently those calls take a long time to execute and do things that, well, I don't really want to do. E.g. imagine you've got a routine which takes a filespec, generates a list of files, and copies...

Hi all! This is my first post in this forum. Looking forward to learning alot! I'm still a beginner at Python, but have grasped all the major concepts in "How to Think Like a Computer Scientist."

Hi, My problem is that I have a large function with hundreds of lines. I want to break it apart into smaller functions. The issue is that if I make a module level function, the scope changes and I have to pass the necessary variables to it. This can be difficult if there are 10 variables that need to be passed. So basically I want to be able to call a function inside another function but keep the scope the same. I found a way to do something...
