I develop in an IDLE window. Module M says 'from service import *'. Next I correct a mistake in function 'service.f'. Now 'service.f' works fine.
I do 'reload (service); reload (M)'. The function 'M.f' still misbehaves. 'print inspect.getsource (service.f)' and 'print inspect.getsource (M.f)' shows the same corrected code. 'print service.f' and 'print M.f' show different ids. So I do 'del M; reload (M)'. Nothing changes. I delete M again and run gc.collect () to really clean house. I reload M again and still nothing changes. The id of the reloaded function 'M.f' is still the same as it was before the purge and so M.f still isn't fixed. I know I have more radical options, such as starting a new IDLE window. That would save me time, but I'd like to take the opportunity to understand what is happening. Surely someone out there knows.
