In Python, how do you change an instantiated object after a reload?

Question

Let\'s say you have an object that was instantiated from a class inside a module. Now, you reload that module. The next thing you\'d like to do is make that reload affect that c

Answer 1

You have to get the new class from the fresh module and assign it back to the instance.

If you could trigger this operation anytime you use an instance with this mixin:

import sys

class ObjDebug(object):
  def __getattribute__(self,k):
    ga=object.__getattribute__
    sa=object.__setattr__
    cls=ga(self,'__class__')
    modname=cls.__module__ 
    mod=__import__(modname)
    del sys.modules[modname]
    reload(mod)
    sa(self,'__class__',getattr(mod,cls.__name__))
    return ga(self,k)
