编辑python脚本而无需重新加载库

Question

I am working on a project that involves some huge libraries. Every time I want to make minor changes to my script, I have to reload all the dependencies, which takes a very long time. Is there a way to make edits and reload without reloading all the dependencies?

Possibly related, but doesn't fully answer my question: Auto-run a python script without reloading dependencies

Answer 1

I found the answer myself. For other searching:

suppose I make a script called HurrDurr

HurrDurr = reload(HurrDurr) will reload just that script. So move the big dependencies to another file and make your minor changes by reloading.
