Dear all,
I have the following problem when I am working with an Abaqus python script:
- Everytime I update a module that is loaded as a part of my main script, after compiling the corresponding module (and generating the associated *.pyc file) in order to test it, I have to close and open Abaqus GUI, otherwise, the new *.pyc file version is not loaded into the system.
I am formulating this question because during the debugging phase of my code, everytime a new change is done, the fact of closing and reopening Abaqus interrupts the workflow (as it takes time to start Abaqus GUI).
Thanks in advance.
I have the same issue and I found a solution using the built-in function reload() (for python2). E.g. in the main file I would write:
import myfunctions as myfunc
reload (myfunc)
where myfunctions is the python file myfunctions.py, in the same folder as the main file. This way in each run the file is reloaded and a new compiled myfunctions.pyc is created.
However reloading each time, might be time consuming and it is better to disable reloading when you are done changing myfunctions.py
If you already found another better solution please share it.
