[Python-talk] Modules force recompilation?

[bruce.labitt at autoliv.com]

I have created a couple modules(?) that have functions in them.  They are 
spread across a couple of files.

One thing that I don't know how to do gracefully, is to force a recompile 
of a module to bytecode once I have editted the source file.

How is this done in python?

I mean the only thing that I know that works for sure is
Edit file2.py
1. Bail out of ipython
2. Manually delete file2.pyc
3. Launch ipython
4. Run main.py

Naturally, this is a relatively slow and annoying process...
Is there a better way?


I am debugging an ESPRIT algorithm...
"Estimation of Signal Parameters via Rotational Invariance Techniques"

Once you get your head into the math, it isn't too bad.  The exception 
processing is a bit painful, however.  It is amazing how many ways can go 
wrong !

For the most part I do most of my work in python now.  Python is very 
powerful.  For the "MATLAB" like parts of the code I just use Numpy and 
SciPy.  I can do stuff in python that I can't even imagine in matlab. 

Guess I've turned into a booster.
