Try posting *a little bit of code*. This is written for Java programmers but the principle is the same for Python: http://sscce.org/ If I had to make a *wild guess* as to what is going on, it would be that you have a couple of modules like this: # Module spam.py x = 1 # global variable def foo(): print(x) # Module eggs.py import spam from spam import x foo() # prints 1, as you expect x = 999 foo() # still prints 1, instead of 999 Is that what is going on? On something different?
