NameError: name 'reload' not defined

Question

I am using python 3.2.2. When I write a simple program, I encounter a problem.

>>> reload(recommendations) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<pyshell#6>", line 1, in <module> reload(recommendations) NameError: name 'reload' is not defined 

How should I do it?

Answer 1

You probably wanted importlib.reload() .

 from importlib import reload 

In Python 2.x, it was built-in , but in 3.x it was in the importlib module.

Note that using reload() outside the interpreter is not necessary at all, what were you trying to do here?

Answer 2

Updating @Gareth Latty's answer. imp was depreciated in Python 3.4. Now you want importlib.reload() .

 from importlib import reload
