Reloading the already imported module

[anil.pundoor]

hi all,
i have following code


if <condition>
from SIPT.xml_param_mapping import
MESSAGE_PARAMETER_MAPPING
else:
from SIPT.msg_param_mapping import
MESSAGE_PARAMETER_MAPPING


parameter_list = MESSAGE_PARAMETER_MAPPING [
'ABC' ]
for parms in parameter_list:

parameter_list[parms][4] = 'EXPORT'

parameter_list[parms][5] = 'IMPORT'


After this the xml_param_mapping gets altered. this process is
repeated over couple of time. But every time i need to get a fresh
xml_param_mapping. So how to relaod the already imported module??



regards
Anil

Why not work with a copy of MESSAGE_PARAMETER_MAPPING['ABC'], and keep the
original intact? Change:

parameter_list = MESSAGE_PARAMETER_MAPPING ['ABC' ]

to

parameter_list = MESSAGE_PARAMETER_MAPPING ['ABC' ][:]

Now no reimport is required.
