Maya 2024, can't reload python module

[adityakumar7024]

I am currently working on a python script and every time I make changes in the script, I need to re-open maya to run the updated module.

The reload function does not seems to be working.

I tried all 3 versions of python reloading command. Though it doesn't return any error while running the reload command, it also doesn't reload the module and runs the older version of code when I try to run the module :

I tried : 

reload(moduleName)

import imp
imp.reload(moduleName)


import importlib
importlib.reload(moduleName)

Any idea why this could be happening?

If `moduleName` if the name of the module then you're not reloading correctly.

Reload in python (all versions) needs the module object.

There are other ways but more context would definitely help.

Thanks for your reply.
I figured out what my mistake was. I was reloading the root directory and thought it would also reload the modules underneath that directory. Instead, I had to reload that particular module from the directory.
'import' loads every modules from the Dir, while reload command only works on any one particular module.
