Hello list, We can not import a module twice in a session of Python (subsequent attempts to import same module don't result in any error though, but it is not-effective).
However after making change to module, we can reload() it (if not reload(), we could possibly have reimport statement) to get the updates in module. I am a newbie in Python (learning via IDLE) and trying to understand - what is extra (special) that import does, that reload() doesn't? - if both do the same internally and externally, why subsequent imports of same module are ineffective? - if subsequent imports of same module in a session are not effective, why not simply flag those attempts as an error, rather than letting them go effect-less. Kindly help me understand the reasons behind. Regards Sandeep -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
