Question
I need to have actual state of my List, which may change anytime.
mylist.py
list = {"key": "value"}
For first time import it's state is actual, but list in mylist.py may be changed. I need to reimport it each time function is called.
somecode.py
def someFunc():
from mylist import list
print list
Solution
There is a function called reload(module)
import mylist
def someFunc():
mylist = reload(mylist) # this may raise syntaxerrors in wrong moments
list = mylist.list
print list
Does it work for you?
