Reload a specific module

[matt-bernstein]

Hi! I'm interested in a use case where I only want to reload a particular library that I am developing, but I could change any function or file within that library. Would one of the following snippets achieve this, inside of IPython for example?

import jurigged
jurigged.watch(mymodule.__file__)

import pathlib
import jurigged
mydir = str(pathlib.Path(mymodule.__file__).parent)
jurigged.watch(mydir)

And if so would it make sense to add jurigged.watch(mymodule) as syntactic sugar?

That should work, yes. I haven't paid much heed to the jurigged.watch interface since I rarely use it, but I like your suggestion, it is good sugar. I would only use the .parent if the module's filename is __init__.py, though.
