I'm having a problem importing a package in python, deleting some of what's been imported, and then reimporting. (I'm the sure the problem is trivial, but I just don't understand it.)<br><br>I have a directory of python modules called Operations. It contains a python module called archive.py. Here's a import of the archive module via package import:<br>
<br> Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Feb 22 2008, 07:57:53) <br> [GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5363)] on darwin<br> Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.<br>
>>> import Operations.archive<br> >>> Operations.archive<br> <module 'Operations.archive' from 'Operations/archive.pyc'><br><br>So far, so good. <br><br>But now, suppose I want to delete Operations.archive. then, I can't reimport it. instead, I <br>
<br> >>> del Operations.archive<br> >>> import Operations.archive<br> >>> dir()<br> ['Operations', '__builtins__', '__doc__', '__name__']<br> >>> <br>
<br>Instead of getting 'Operations.archive', I just seem to get 'Operations'. <br><br>I can't seem to be able to import Operations.archive without quitting the python interpreter and starting again. <br>
<br>What's going on here, and how do I fix it?<br><br>Thanks,<br>Dan<br><br><br>
