I am running a simulator written in python. The simulator has a small
TextView (actually a SourceView) widget which lets the user writes
scripts, and when they are satisfied they can execute that script to get
results. For arguments sake, we write a simple script and save it as
A.py and we import it and execute it more or less like so.
import A
#assume there is a function called test() in module A
A.test()
Then the user modifies the contents of A.py and saves it again (to A.py)
now all we have to do is the following
if 'A' in dir():
reload(A)
else:
import A
A.test()
Terry Reedy already gave you an answer for this import problem.
I'd like to go one step back and question whether using import/modules is
the right thing here.
Clearly A.py is not a module but a script (that's the word you used) - and
one does not *import* a script but *executes* it.
That is, instead of using import/__import__, use exec (or execfile) within
a known namespace:
import __builtin__
ns = {'__builtins__': __builtin__.__dict__}
exec contents_of_textview in ns
# any change made to ns is visible here
