rreload
An enhanced recursive reloader for Python development. This utility recursively reloads a target module and all its internal dependencies, ensuring that deep code changes are reflected immediately without having to restart your interpreter or application session.
Usage
from fxpt.fx_utils.rreload import rreload
rreload(myModule)Arguments
rreload(module, remapping=False, verbosity=0)module – The starting module for the recursive reload.
remapping – Enable this if you use from module import attribute instead of importing the entire module.
verbosity – Set to 1 or 2 for detailed logs during the process. Useful for debugging dependency chains.
Ignored modules
Modules with a file path (not a module name) containing a string from the IGNORE_DIRECTORIES list will be skipped during the recursive reload

rreload is part of the FX Python Tools library. Download fxpt from GitHub and add it to your PYTHONPATH directory.
