Hi

I am using Pythonista for iOS and I am new in the Python language. I wrote some scripts with "ui" and some with "scene" and I tested the compile modules (compile, compileall, py_compile). After that, changes in scripts did not effect in runtime. For example: I have a script "abc.py". And I compiled this script and I get an "abc.pyc". So every change in the "abc.py" did not effect in runtime. So I delete the "abc.pyc" but I have the same problem. Actually I have nor ".pyc" files but nothing happens.

The exact problem is that I have a Python Script with an UI. If I press a button I start another Script with a scene module. If I change something in the script with the scene module I see no effect while running the App. Meanwhile I delete the complete content of my draw procedure but nothing happens.

Can anybody help me?

Thanks Jens

import abc ; reload(abc)

Thats it. Thank you.

@Kluesi @ccc Additionally, this should not be necessary in 2.0 (when it is released)

By the way, you shouldn't name any real module abc, because there is also a standard Python module named abc, which can be used to create abstract base classes (or ABCs). By writing your own module named abc, you make the standard abc module very hard to load, and anything that uses import abc will import your module instead of the standard one.

I understand that your file probably isn't called abc, but naming conflicts can still be an issue. In general when you write a module it's a good idea to check if another module with the same name exists, simply by running import thing in the Python prompt. To find out where that module is located, see thing.__file__.
