Refreshing imported modules

[noagbodjivictor]

I have the python interperter opened while editing a module. The
problem is that when I make changes, the module is not refreshed
whenever I import it again. I have to re-launch the interpreter, is
there a way to shortcut this?

I believe you can use the 'reload' command. ie

First import your module :

>>import module_name

If you want to refresh the module after having changed it,

>>module_name = reload(module_name)

That should work. However, any variables you have declared which arise
from classes within your module must be redeclared.
