I have a script that computes some stuff. It uses inputs from a separate file 'inputs.py'.
In 'inputs.py' are only a few variables:
A = 2.3
B = 4.5
C = 3.0
In the main file I import them with
from inputs import *
If I now change something in 'inputs.py' and execute the script again it still uses the old values instead of the new ones. How can I reload the file?
reload(inputs)
does not work.
Many thanks in advance!
Answer
If you are using Python 3.x , then to reload the names that have been imported using from module import name , you would need to do -
import importlib
import inputs #import the module here, so that it can be reloaded.
importlib.reload(inputs)
from inputs import A # or whatever name you want.
For Python 2.x , you can simply do -
import inputs #import the module here, so that it can be reloaded.
reload(inputs)
from inputs import A # or whatever name you want.
