I am learning python and to test and debug the class I am creating I need to be able to reload it in the live python interface. My file is OderedDictionary.py I import it doing import OderedDictionary I read that to reload it I shoud do OderedDictionary.reload() since I am using python3.7, but I get a:

AttributeError: module 'OrderedDictionary' has no attribute 'reload' I also tried to use reload(module) directly, but I got this:

NameError: name 'reoad' is not defined

Maybe I misunderstood something?

Thanks

You should get an ImportError then. Did you do `from importlib import reload`? – 9769953 Nov 08 '19 at 11:00
that was it! I didn't know I needed a library for the reload, thank you – Laetis Nov 08 '19 at 11:01
It say right at the start of the answer of the duplicate, at the top of the code sample. – 9769953 Nov 08 '19 at 12:30
