Small library for live code reloading of python scripts. Basically just a nicer front-end for superreload + exception handling. Requires only the watchdog library to check for filesystem changes.
Available via pip:
pip3 install minireload
As demonstrated by the code in example/.
main.py
from impl import main
if __name__ == "__main__":
# Since the __main__ file cannot be reloaded by the python interpreter,
# it just refers to another module, which contains the actual code.
main()impl.py
import time
import minireload as mr
def update():
print("Try changing me!")
time.sleep(0.1)
return 42
def main():
enable_autoreload = True
if enable_autoreload:
func = mr.WrappingReloader(update)
else:
func = update
while True:
res = func()
if type(res) == mr.ReloadErrorInfo:
print("Everything is awful:", res)
else:
print("Everything is awesome:", res)The update function is wrapped in a WrappingReloader. By default this
reloads the toplevel module the function belongs to and handles exceptions,
which may happen during live code editing.
