IPython autoreload changes in subdirectory

Question

I launch IPython from the main folder /project. Now if I make changes in the file /project/tests/some_module.py, the changes fail to be autoreloade

Answer 1

Try changing your file use_some_module.py to:

import some_module

some_module.hello_world()

Reload with from import usually does not work.

This works for me:

%autoreload 1
%aimport use_some_module
%aimport some_module
