I am quite sure something like this must have been asked before but I couldn't word it properly to get to those questions. Here is my issue. Let's say I have a function called square, which returns square value of a given number.
def square(number):
return number*number
I store square function in main.py file. So in the python shell, I import and run the function like this:
>>> from main import square
>>> square(5)
Output is obviously 25 in this case. However, when I make changes in the function, for the sake an example, let's say:
def square(number):
return number*number*2
and import and run in previously opened python shell again. The result remains the same (i.e. 25). However, it should be 50. The changes take effect if the close and reopen the python shell. Is there a way to overcome this without opening a new python shell everytime for testing. I have tested this in python 2.7.14 and 3.8.3.
