hot-import 1.0.1

hot-reload for python packages

HOW TO USE?

STEP 1

Import hot_import into your python file with import hot_import or from hot_import import EasyImport

STEP 2

Import the desired module as following import module_name

/!\ It will not work if you do from module_name import * or from module_name import function /!\

STEP 3

Create an object EasyImport that you will use to manage your modules

# main.py
from hot_import import EasyImport

import module


mods = EasyImport([module], auto_update=True)

module = mods.get_module(module)

STEP 4

Check if it's working, to proceed, you have to edit module.py while your code is running

# module.py
def hello():
    return "Hello world!"

# main.py
from hot_import import EasyImport
import time

import module


mods = EasyImport([module], auto_update=True)

module = mods.get_module(module)

while True:
    print(module.hello())
    time.sleep(1)

STEP 5 (optional)

You can add an event on_update to help you debugging

# main.py
from hot_import import EasyImport
import time

import module


mods = EasyImport([module], auto_update=True)

module = mods.get_module(module)


@mods.on_update()
def on_update(module):
    print(f"The module {module.module_name} has been updated!")


while True:
    print(module.hello())
    time.sleep(1)
