how to make maya read updated python files?

[5rivamsi]

I created a modules folder and set maya to read while starting up. I then updated the scripts in some of the files and want to see changes in maya. how can i do it? Currently i'm running the whole new script in sript editor. How can i make maya re-read the same file. 

Also where can I start learning to write c++ plugins for maya? 

thanks in advance.

Hi!

To load a changed python module you need the reload() function.

Python 2.7:

import yourModule
reload(yourModule)

Python 3:

import yourModule
from importlib import reload
reload(yourModule)

No idea about the C++ stuff, sorry

I hope it helps!
