Scripts not updating when modified

[Anonymous]

Hi there!

I'm working on a Maya tool that uses PySide2 and Shiboken2 to create UI and uses several own classes. I'm having issues when Maya Editor executes one time the script, after that, if I modify the script, the changes are not updated when executing it.

So, the first time, the script works fine, but if I wanna modify something, even if it is a print, I have to restart Maya.

If I write other scripts without using Pyside2 and shiboken2 it works fine, I don't know how to solve this, but restarting Maya everytime I have to modify the script it's driving me crazy.

Thanks and I hope you can help me with that.

Sorry if my english isn't perfect.

##reimport again and it should be fine

I can imagine your struggle restarting continuously...

I'm glad that helps!
