hello
i have a question which i didn't solved yet:
i can define a function using the text editor provided by IDLE 3.0;
then i'd like to call this function from the python prompt
but when i try to do it, python warns me that function doesn't exist
of course if i define the function directly using the >>> prompt,
after that everything is fine
may you tell me where i have to save the file that defines the
function is order to use it later ?
is it a problem of path ?
Let's say you saved the file as foo.py. Then:
import foo
foo.afunction()
thank you very much, the help you provided me works fine
nonetheless, yesterday i met a little problem:
the procedure you indicated me
import foo
foo.afunction()
works fine but when i modify the function "afunction" in the file
foo.py then no change occurs when i call it again, i mean the function
behavior is exactely the same as before i made any modification; i
tried to import foo again, but nothing happens, the output of
"foo.afunction" is as if i never made any change to it ...
if you have any suggestion, it is very appreciated
After initially importing foo you must reload(foo) for changes to
take effect.
