How can I reload objects in my namespace in ipython [duplicate]

Answer 1

you can also use autoreload, so that the modules you are working on are automatically reloaded at each statement, pretty handy for debugging, see:

Autoreload of modules in IPython

Answer 2

Python 2:

reload(module)

Python 3:

from importlib import reload
reload(module)

Where module is the file with your functions.

Answer 3

Use the following link to read more about reload built-in function. Please find sample below:

import controls.grid
reload(controls.grid)

Note that reload is 'Reload a previously imported module. The argument must be a module object, so it must have been successfully imported before.' and 'When a module is reloaded, its dictionary (containing the module’s global variables) is retained. Redefinitions of names will override the old definitions, so this is generally not a problem. If the new version of a module does not define a name that was defined by the old version, the old definition remains.'
