Ah, of course the cached module will still reflect the older version. Sorry, I was thinking about solving a different problem: - In module "main" call "from A import a" - Some other part of your code modifies A.a - You want to have the imported a be refreshed with the value of A.a No, my suggestion won't help in this situation. Instead, you can: (1) Delete the module from sys.modules, forcing Python to re-read it from disk: import sys del sys.modules['A'] from A import a or (2) Recognize that Python doesn't specifically support what you're trying to do. reload() is a convenience function, and you probably should stick to the "import A; A.a" form. -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
