在Python 3.0-3.3中，您将使用:

BDFL已经回答了这个问题。

然而，imp在3.4中被弃用了，取而代之的是importlib(谢谢@Stefan!)

因此，我认为您现在应该使用importlib.reload(module)，尽管我不确定。

模块foo必须提前导入成功。 从importlib导入重载，重载(foo)

31.5. import - Python 3.6.4文档的实现

编辑(答案V2)

前面的解决方案只适用于获取重置信息，但它不会更改所有引用(超过重新加载，但小于所需)。为了设置所有的引用，我必须进入垃圾收集器，并在那里重写引用。现在它就像一个咒语!

请注意，如果GC被关闭，或者如果重新加载不受GC监视的数据，这将不起作用。如果您不想打乱GC，原始答案可能就足够了。

原来的答案

正如在@bobince的回答中所写的，如果在另一个模块中已经有对该模块的引用(特别是如果它是用As关键字导入的，如import numpy As np)，该实例将不会被覆盖。

当应用需要配置模块的“全新”状态的测试时，这对我来说是相当有问题的，所以我写了一个名为reset_module的函数，它使用importlib的reload函数并递归地覆盖所有声明的模块属性。它已经用Python版本3.6进行了测试。

import importlib
import inspect
from enum import EnumMeta

_readonly_attrs = {'__annotations__', '__call__', '__class__', '__closure__', '__code__', '__defaults__', '__delattr__',
               '__dict__', '__dir__', '__doc__', '__eq__', '__format__', '__func__', '__ge__', '__get__',
               '__getattribute__', '__globals__', '__gt__', '__hash__', '__init__', '__init_subclass__',
               '__kwdefaults__', '__le__', '__lt__', '__module__', '__name__', '__ne__', '__new__', '__qualname__',
               '__reduce__', '__reduce_ex__', '__repr__', '__self__', '__setattr__', '__sizeof__', '__str__',
               '__subclasshook__', '__weakref__', '__members__', '__mro__', '__itemsize__', '__isabstractmethod__',
               '__basicsize__', '__base__'}


def reset_module(module, inner_modules_also=True):
    """

                   if (type(submod).__name__ == 'module') and (submod.__package__.startswith(module.__name__))}
        for submod in submods:

                    or isinstance(sitem, EnumMeta):  # Deal with enums
                continue

注意事项:请谨慎使用!在非外围模块(例如，定义外部使用的类的模块)上使用这些可能会导致Python中的内部问题(例如pickle / unpickling问题)。

你可以使用importlib.reload()重新加载一个已经被导入的模块:

from importlib import reload  # Python 3.4+
import foo

while True:
    # Do some things.
    if is_changed(foo):
        foo = reload(foo)

在Python 2中，重载是内置的。在Python 3中，它被移动到imp模块。在3.4中，弃用了imp，改用了importlib。当目标为3或更高版本时，在调用reload或import时引用适当的模块。

我觉得这就是你想要的。像Django的开发服务器这样的Web服务器使用了这个功能，这样你就可以在不重启服务器进程的情况下看到代码更改的效果。

引用文件中的内容:

Python module’s code is recompiled and the module-level code re-executed, defining a new set of objects which are bound to names in the module’s dictionary by reusing the loader which originally loaded the module. The init function of extension modules is not called a second time. As with all other objects in Python the old objects are only reclaimed after their reference counts drop to zero. The names in the module namespace are updated to point to any new or changed objects. Other references to the old objects (such as names external to the module) are not rebound to refer to the new objects and must be updated in each namespace where they occur if that is desired.

正如您在问题中所指出的，如果Foo类驻留在Foo模块中，则必须重新构造Foo对象。

重新加载(模块)，但前提是它是完全独立的。如果其他任何东西引用了该模块(或属于该模块的任何对象)，那么您将会得到一些微妙而奇怪的错误，这些错误是由旧代码存在的时间比您预期的要长，并且像isinstance这样的错误在相同代码的不同版本之间无法工作。

如果有单向依赖关系，还必须重新加载依赖于重新加载的模块的所有模块，以消除对旧代码的所有引用。然后递归地重新加载依赖于重新加载模块的模块。

如果你有循环依赖关系，这是非常常见的，例如当你处理重新加载一个包时，你必须一次性卸载组中的所有模块。使用reload()无法做到这一点，因为它会在刷新依赖项之前重新导入每个模块，从而允许旧的引用渗透到新模块中。

在这种情况下，唯一的方法是入侵sys。模块，这是不受支持的。你必须仔细检查并删除每个系统。您希望在下次导入时重新加载的模块项，还可以删除值为None的项，以处理缓存失败的相对导入的实现问题。这并不是很好，但只要你有一个完全自包含的依赖集，并且不会在代码库之外留下引用，它就是可行的。

最好是重新启动服务器。:-）

以Abaqus为例，这就是它的工作方式。 假设你的文件是Class_VerticesEdges.py

sys.path.append('D:\...\My Pythons')
if 'Class_VerticesEdges' in sys.modules:  
    del sys.modules['Class_VerticesEdges']
    print 'old module Class_VerticesEdges deleted'
from Class_VerticesEdges import *
reload(sys.modules['Class_VerticesEdges'])
