I'm using C-c C-c to send a buffer to a Python shell. The buffer has an import at the beginning. I found that if I modify the module I'm importing, it doesn't reflect the changes if I run the buffer again with C-c C-c (it seems the Inferior Python is doing the import only once).
How can I force the Python shell to import again the modules already called in the first run of the buffer?
You can explicitly reload a module like so:
import mymodule
import imp
imp.reload(mymodule)
This is my workflow. I set emacs to use ipython
(setq
python-shell-interpreter "ipython3"
python-shell-interpreter-args "--simple-prompt --pprint")
Then in ~/.ipython/profile_default/startup/00-ipython_init.py I put the following:
ip = get_ipython()
ip.magic('load_ext autoreload')
Then I type this whenever I modify and want to reload my modules in ipython. I like this because it works for all modules and I don't have to worry about import dependencies.
%autoreload
You can do it by modifying the python-run and forcing the Python process to restart:
;; Run python and pop-up its shell.
;; Kill process to solve the reload modules problem.
(defun my-python-shell-run ()
(interactive)
(when (get-buffer-process "*Python*")
(set-process-query-on-exit-flag (get-buffer-process "*Python*") nil)
(kill-process (get-buffer-process "*Python*"))
;; Uncomment If you want to clean the buffer too.
;;(kill-buffer "*Python*")
;; Not so fast!
(sleep-for 0.5))
(run-python (python-shell-parse-command) nil nil)
(python-shell-send-buffer)
;; Pop new window only if shell isnt visible
;; in any frame.
(unless (get-buffer-window "*Python*" t)
(python-shell-switch-to-shell)))
(defun my-python-shell-run-region ()
(interactive)
(python-shell-send-region (region-beginning) (region-end))
(python-shell-switch-to-shell))
(eval-after-load "python"
'(progn
(define-key python-mode-map (kbd "C-c C-c") 'my-python-shell-run)
