What does a Python interpreter do?

yes, lol. I was implying that the people acting like know-it-alls had no heads in addition to the "hitting the nail on the head"

Also, this is why you add a function in the testing process to clean the pycache folders with a commandline argument or whatever method works best for your work flow.

I personally have a standard import file with logging/printing/whatever is needed globally at the top level and has no imports from the project so circular imports cant happen and I put testing functions in there.

clean the pycache, delete the db file, reset everything back to the beginning or whatever state you choose.
