Override imported module

Question

Let's say I have:

# a.py
def number(value):
 return value+1

# main.py
import a
print(a.number(0)) # 1

Then I change the value of my function, and save the file:

# a.py
def number(value):
 return value+2

And then I import it again but I still get the same number:

# main.py
import a
print(number(0)) # 1

What do I need to do to override the function?

How do you run your file? This shouldn't be happening unless you're just running the lines in `main.py` in a REPL — Pranav Hosangadi, Mar 30 '22 at 15:29

You should restart your runtime. Because once your python loaded, meanwhile you changes it after that. — BarzanHayati, Mar 30 '22 at 16:07

Check if you have .pyc files , remove them if yes and run your code
