Question

I’m using Python in IDLE, and I have a line reload(sim_map_training). However, when I run the file, it says NameError: name 'sim_map_training' is not defined, even though I’m sure I have a file sim_map_training.py in the same directory as the file. I’m really confused.. What could be the problem?

Answer 1

The name sim_map_training in the context where you’re reloading must refer to the module. Just writing

import sim_map_training  # =  sim_map_training = sys.modules['sim_map_training']
reload(sim_map_training)

will do.
