You could substitute a class with a __del__ method for the module itself for testing this. Be careful with leaving this in your production code though, as the presence of __del__ methods can interfere with garbage collection and are not advisable prior to 3.4.</p><p dir="ltr" class="">You can also test whether an object is still in memory by looking for it in gc.get_objects() although be warned that is an expensive call.<br class=""></p></div></blockquote><div>Interesting concept. One thing I am doing is allowing one script to import another by name. So in my gui I’ll have a panel for each script with a line edit to set the name, which then generates an appropriate slug. Is it still possible to import non-module objects? I guess this question is just for fun now :)</div><div><br class=""></div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class=""><p dir="ltr" class="">
