I'm using the Windows version of Python and IDLE. When I debug my .py
file, my modification to the .py file does not seem to take effect
unless I restart IDLE. Saving the file and re-importing it doesn't help
either. Where's the problem?
Thanks. 10 1489

No problem. Just reload() it.

"import" only reads the file the first time it's called. Every import
call after that looks up the module in memory. This is to prevent
circular dependencies between modules from creating infinite loops.
You need to use the reload() function: import foo
#change the contents of foo
foo = reload(foo)

As a matter of fact, it would help a lot if that stupid behaviour of
Idle was dropped. I'm sure I'm not the only one who lost lots of time
because of that bug. Yes I call it a bug.

You are mistaken if you think this is an Idle behavior; it is a Python
behavior that speeds the execution of large systems.

in the version of IDLE I have on this machine, if I modify my script and
run it again (using F5), things work exactly as expected.
if I modify my script and import it into a clean shell (ctrl-F6), things work
exactly as expected.
the only way to get the "buggy" behaviour you're describing is to attempt
to run your program by importing it as a module more than once into an
existing python shell process. in that case, import works in the same way
as it always works.
after all, "import" isn't designed to run programs, it's designed to import
modules. if you want to run stuff in IDLE, why not just use the "run"
command ?

F5 is designed to run the current open file. Sane people won't assume
that pressing twice the F5 key will yield different. Sane people will
assume that when you edit file1.py and press F5, it reparses the file,
but when you edit file2.py and press F5 with file1.py it won't work. Why
make it different ? Why make is so that I have to select the shell
window, press CTRL+F6, select the file1.py and press F5 just so that it
works as expected ?
Idle is ok when you edit a single .py file. As soon as I need to edit 2
..py files with one using the other, I'm glad I have other editors which
spanw a clean shell each time I run the current file.

I'm not sure I follow here: in the version of IDLE I have here, pressing
F5 will save the current file and run it. If you've edit other parts of the
application, you have to save those files (Control-S) and switch to the
main script before pressing F5, but that's only what you'd expect from
a "run this module" command.
(being able to bind F5 to a specific script might be practical, of course,
but I'm don't think that's what you're complaining about. or is it?)

In the version of IDLE I have, that's exactly what happens (that's what
the RESTART lines are all about).
Is there some secret setting somewhere that I've accidentally managed
to switch on or off to get this behaviour?

What I remember ( but maybe it was changed in recent Idle versions ) was
that when your project has a main.py which imports a module.py, when you
run your project once, any later changes you make in module.py won't be
taken into account.

But, if you are editing a Python Module in Idle, and press F5 to run
the module, the interpreter is restarted for you. So what's the
problem?
I would consider it a far greater problem if Idle _didn't_ do that --
it could mean you module worked when you were debuggining it because
of some initialization that doesn't get performed in a clean start.

I was wondering if Python programs always need to include the source code

Is it possible to make an executable with only bytecode?
