[SciPy-user] reload

[Ken Sugino]

If you do :
>>> from leo_ncd3D import *
after step 4, you can use 'leo_ncd3Dlin()' as newly defined function.

For instance objects, you have to assign __class__ to reloaded class:
>>> import foo # module foo
>>> a = foo.bar() # bar class in foo
>>> reload(foo)
>>> a.__class__ == foo.bar 
0
# different class object
>>> a.__class__ = foo.bar
# have to reassign to use new class definition (like methods, class attributes)

There is a recipe for autoreloading in ASPN:

Cheers,
