Code to restart script within the Shell.

Question

I want to be able to restart my script within the python shell. The current code I'm using gives me the error that "os" is not defined. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

I couldn't get the recommended code to work so I decided on using.
def start():
print("example")
start()

start()

Answer 2

import os

Answer 3

if your python version is 3, use importlib.reload(yourModuleName) .

Answer 4

It didn't work. Module name is the name of my file right?(test.py). If so the code didn't work, gave me this error:
File "C:\Users\Student\Desktop\Test.py", line 188,in <module>
importlib.reload(test.py)
NameError: name 'importlib' is not defined.

Apologies if I fail to understand some things, I'm quite new to this.

Should I be using the directory path in the module?

Answer 5

Just import 'importlib' module first because it is a module like your code, right? Then You can use reload function.
Like this:
from importlib import reload
then, reload(test)

Answer 6

The error has changed to
NameError: name 'test' is not defined.
What does it mean :/

Answer 7

You must import your code aka module first. reload function just ..well.. reload specific module without restarting interpreter.
