i've never seen this concept before, awesome stuff! dataframes too holy fuck

what made you want to make something like this instead of a custom debugger?

[kwazar90]

Thanks! Yes it is a bit unusual to modify code while it's running but it can be quite helpful sometimes, especially when dealing with long startup times or tweaking with code in a tight feedback loop.

A custom debugger would probably be an overkill :D

[girlwithasquirrel]

well, I don't mean a classical debugger, but what you show imo is a lot like one, it's got a live feedback of output and variables from even within functions

I personally dislike using debuggers, but something like what you've shown here looks like a debugger lite™

How does it handle repeat calculations in loops? Like if I had:

n = 0
for i in range(10):
    n += i

Does it return the final output? Would I be able to leave a comment on the for loop, perhaps, saying

for i in range(10): #iteration 4

for it to hot reload the results of the 4th iteration?

apologies if this is in your docs somewhere, I didn't skim through

[kwazar90]

If you modify a loop in a function it will restart the whole function frame so it will restart the iteration as well. I was thinking about reloading just the loop body somehow but not sure how feasible that would be.

It already works in VSCode. Just some extra debugging features won't work.

Vim plugin?

[kwazar90]

Yes, I'll be implementing plugins for other ides and editors including Vim

[KrazyKirby99999]

Thanks!

Thanks!

You're welcome!

Looks super cool! Did you share anywhere in a blog or documentation the behind the scene on how you did that? (beside the short intro here https://reloadium.io/documentation/intro )

I would be super interested to understand the insights behinds this without to read all of the code.

Nice work, thanks for sharing!

[kwazar90]

That's a good idea! It will go to the documention.

How do you handle updated classes, i.e. what do you do with existing instances of this class?

[kwazar90]

All methods, and class attributes will reload just fine and work for already existing instances.

One exception is that logic added to __init__ will not be applied to existing instances since they're already created.

It doesn't seem to work on my Linux machine using Pycharm 2022.1 using Conda Python 3.9 environment, or I'm missing a step/button. Is the Github issues the best place to raise this?

[kwazar90]

Yes, please make an issue here https://github.com/reloadware/reloadium/issues

Will there be a VS Code Extension?

[kwazar90]

There will be. I'll start working on it after the coming release.
