Python import module not updating after changed

[vincentfs (Vincent Shen)]

Hi everyone,

I noticed that when I run a python script that imports module from other python files. The imported modules will not be updated after you make changes to the file. I have to re-open rhino in order to test the update. Is there a way to force rhino to update the imported modules?

Thanks,
Vincent

Hello Vincent,

Python script not updating on Rhino

Hello, Yes this is because IronPython caches the previously executed script to save time rerunning it. Let’s say your script is saved in a file called mymodule.py. You can use this script at the top of your file to reload it each time it runs: import mymodule from imp import reload reload(mymodule)
