New submission from Diego Mascialino <dmascialino at gmail.com>:
Example:
---------------- mod.py ----------------
def f():
a,b,c = 1,2
print b
----------------------------------------
If i do:
>>> import mod
>>> mod.f()
I get:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "mod.py", line 2, in f
a,b,c = 1,2
ValueError: need more than 2 values to unpack
If i fix the source:
---------------- mod.py ----------------
def f():
a,b,c = 1,2,3
print b
----------------------------------------
And do:
>>> mod.f()
I get:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "mod.py", line 2, in f
a,b,c = 1,2,3
ValueError: need more than 2 values to unpack
The problem is that the source shown is updated, but the executed code is old, because it wasn't reloaded.
Feature request:
If the source code shown was modified after import time and it wasn't reloaded, a warning message should be shown.
Example:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "mod.py", line 2, in f WARNING: Modified after import!
a,b,c = 1,2,3
ValueError: need more than 2 values to unpack
or something like that. Maybe "use reload()" might appear.
