autoreload doesn't work for me in subdirs at all.

dir structure:

run.ipynb
oof.py
pertussis/
    |-- __init__.py

on run.ipynb I have (running with notebook):

from pertussis import *
check() #defined in the module

this doesn't work. I tried everything. I added the autoreload magic inside code, inside config file, everywhere. I also added the folder of the module to the sys.path list. Never reloaded. I tried reloading a regular file oof.py from the notebook, instead of the module directly.

on oof.py I have:

from pertussis import *
def check_2():
  print ("Hello")

What happend now is that check_2 was autoreloaded successfully, but check from the module still didn't reload.

Nothing seems to work, I am lost.

  • Sharing **how** you use reload will be usefull, are you using `%aimport` ? Otherwise it won't reload, keep in mind that not everything can be reloaded, and even less deep-reloaded. So you might be just hitting an impossible case. – Matt May 29 '16 at 18:47
  • sorry. I used `%load_ext autoreload autoreload 2` – DeanLa May 30 '16 at 06:11

Sorry for the late response, I've just stumbled upon a similar problem.

In your run.ipynb, have you tried:

import pertussis
pertussis.check()

Or 

%load_ext autoreload 
%autoreload 1

then 

%aimport pertussis
check = pertussis.check  # optional shortcut
check()

    I tried all of those. The reason is probably because ipython has a hard time doing deep-import. I moved all my sub modules into `.py` files instead of sub-folder with init. – DeanLa Sep 29 '16 at 12:41
  • my class stopped being autoreloaded mysteriously when using `%autoreload` but using `%aimport` fixed it, thanks – pcko1 May 06 '19 at 09:42
