Hello, I appologize for a slightly off topic post, but I'm sure someone here knows the answer. I like the idea of developing code interactively with IPython, but I cannot get past one hurdle. I would like to write my code in a module that I then import and instantiate classes or call functions from interactively. However, when I try to do this in IPython I find that after I import my code, it is cached and even after restarting and reimporting, the changes are not recognized. What is the paradigm people use to get around this, or what is the preferred paradigm for interactive development using IPython. Thanks, Glenn

You're probably right, and people are pretty happy to answer things here in general. You're more likely to get traction for this question on the IPython mailing list at <ipython-user at scipy.org>, to which I have also sent this reply. > I like the idea of developing code interactively > with IPython, but I cannot get past one hurdle.

As far as I can tell, this is a popular and common approach, and one I use exclusively. > However, when I try to do this in > IPython I find that after I import my code, it is cached and even > after restarting and reimporting, the changes are not recognized.

The method you describe should work without any problem, suggesting to me that something isn't quite right with your approach yet. Perhaps you could give a concrete example so we can help debug the problem.

Check the reload command - which will reimport an already imported module picking up any fresh changes in the source. Cheers Robin
