how to reload a Class in python shell?

Question

If I import a module defining a class of the same name belonging to a package, it is imported as a Class, not a Module because of the __init__.py of the parent package. See

Answer 1

I have one myfile.py file which contains one class MyClass

To import just do:

from myfile import MyClass
mc = MyClass()

To reload:

import sys
del sys.modules['myfile']
from myfile import MyClass
modifiedmc = MyClass()

This is very useful while building modules. one can put these inside a function and just call the function

def myreload():
   import sys
   del sys.modules['myfile']
   from myfile import MyClass
   modifiedmc = MyClass()
   global mc
   mc = modifiedmc
