[issue41770] Import module doesn't updated

[Steven D'Aprano]

Steven D'Aprano <steve+python at pearwood.info> added the comment:

This is not a bug, it is working as designed. Importing takes the module from the cache. You can either delete the module from the cache:

    del sys.modules['modulename']
    import modulename  # reloads from the module file


or possibly simpler, use reload:

    importlib.reload(modulename)
