I'm having a problem importing a package in python, deleting some of what's
been imported, and then reimporting. (I'm the sure the problem is trivial,
but I just don't understand it.)
I have a directory of python modules called Operations. It contains a
python module called archive.py. Here's a import of the archive module
via package import:
Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Feb 22 2008, 07:57:53)
[GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5363)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import Operations.archive
>>> Operations.archive
<module 'Operations.archive' from 'Operations/archive.pyc'>
So far, so good.
But now, suppose I want to delete Operations.archive. then, I can't
reimport it. instead, I
>>> del Operations.archive
>>> import Operations.archive
>>> dir()
['Operations', '__builtins__', '__doc__', '__name__']
>>>
Instead of getting 'Operations.archive', I just seem to get 'Operations'.
I can't seem to be able to import Operations.archive without quitting the
python interpreter and starting again.
What's going on here, and how do I fix it?
Thanks,
Dan
