howto reload Python module?

my Python module was changed in HDD (hardware disk drive), moreover,
changed its location (but still present in sys.path).
how can I reload a func "myfunc" from the module? (or howto reload
whole module)?
Thank you in advance, D.

You're moving the LOCATION of modules while they are running???

WHY???

Nevertheless, and much to my surprise, a quick test suggests that so long
as the new location is in sys.path, reload() continues to do what it is
supposed to do.

Several people asked me for the following HOWTO, so I decided to post it here (though it is still very 'alpha' and might contain many (?) mistakes; didn't test what I wrote, but wrote it - more or less - during my own installation of Python 2.3 on Fedora Core 1 Linux for a friend of mine). Anyway, HTH, L.

I'm going to be teaching EEs some basic Python using the first few chapters of Learning Python, 2nd ed. by Mark Lutz. The discussion on Reloading Modules starting on page 266 is confusing and I believe incorrect. On page 266 it says that a reload "changes the existing module object in place." That's a little vague, but on page 267 it says "every reference to a module object anywhere in your program is automatically affected by a...

Hi, I'm using import hooks according to PEP 302, in order to load python files from a game PAK file. The game is C++ using embedded and extended Python (v2.33) and Boost. The importing works fine, but after modules are imported I can't reload them. I've tried 'reload(foo)' and 'PyImport_ReloadModule(pModPtr)', but both return 'ImportError: No module named foo'. Is it safe to assume that reload doesn't respect the import hook? That...

So, it turns out that reload() fails if the module being reloaded isn't in sys.path. Maybe it could fall back to module.__file__ if the module isn't found in sys.path?? .... or reload could just take an optional path parameter... Or perhaps I'm the only one who thinks this is silly: >>> my_module = imp.load_module(module_name, *imp.find_module(module_name,path))

Hi Python Experts, I hope I can explain this right. I'll try. Background: I have a module that I leave running in a server role. It has a module which has data in it that can change. So every nth time a function in the server gets called, I want to reload the module so it has the freshest data. But there's a lot of data so it takes 5-10 seconds to do a reload.

Hi, This seems to be an old question, and I've read back a bit, but rather than assume the answer is "you can't do that", I'd thought I'd post my version of the question along with a reproducible error to illustrate my confusion. My problem is that I'm using Python inside XSI (a 3D graphics application). If I want to restart Python, I have to restart XSI. This is no small amount of time wasted.
