When I import a selfmade module and run the program, the output is what I expected. However when I update the module and run the program in the same console, the previous result is shown. If I open a new console, then the new result is correctly shown.
Let's take an example:
# Filename: myfunctions.py
def helloWorld():
print("Hello World")
# Filename: runfuction.py
from myfunctions import helloWorld
helloWorld()
The output is Hello World. When I replace in myfunctions.py Hello into Bye, and when I run the program in the same console, my result is still Hello World, and not Bye World. The updated text Bye World will be only shown when I open a new console.
try:
reload(module_name)
that's how it works in a local python console. I don't have a PythonAnywhere account, but I would guess it's pretty similar.
Note that any object instances you have already created will not be changed, but this (or something similar) should work fine for functions.
