unload-packages 0.1.0

Simple package reloader for Maya, Unreal, or other DCCs.

Python package reloader

Taken from Aleksandar Kocić's website. It unloads any specified python packages currently imported in Maya, Unreal Engine, or another DCC, and allows for a clean reimport.

As he notes, this should only be used in development, and should not be used in production code or tools.

Installation

Installing with pip

pip install unload_packages

Manual installation

Download the latest version from the releases page and extract the unload_packages folder to your Maya scripts directory. (e.g. C:\Users\username\Documents\maya\scripts)

Usage

In the Maya script editor, add this code to the top of your script:

from unload_packages import unload
unload(["my_package", "my_other_package"])

import my_package
import my_other_package
...
