importing scripts

[Patrick C]

When I'm testing a script in PythonWin after I import it once, it won't recognize some changes i've made sometimes. Like if its a script to do a web scrape...
the 1st time i try import testscript, it'll take the couple of seconds that is needed to do the scrape. thats good.

Then lets say i change a part of the scrape. For example one thing i often do is have a text file where i have names. My script will take a name out of the text file hten use it in a web address in order to do a scrape. for example
i'll have this pageroot "http://finance.google.com/finance?fstype=ii&q="
then i'll take a name "ge" from a text file and use it to find this web page to go to ... "http://finance.google.com/finance?fstype=ii&q=ge".

if i just import testscript again, then it won't recognize that i've changed the web address that i'm going to.

Does that make sense, should that happen? if so, how cna i get around it w/o closing and reopening PythonWin.

thanks

Import only works the first time its called for a module use reload instead.

import someScript # imports the script
#...
import someScript # does nothing
#...
reload(someScript) # reloads the script
