Python not importing the updated version of my module

mypackage includes these lines:

x = 1
y = 2

Now I am trying to run foo.py that does something like the following:

import mypackage as mp
x = mp.x #works
y = mp.y #does not work

When I run foo.py, line 3 triggers the following error:

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'y'

The old version of mypackage only had x and not y. So I've tried updating it. I've tried this solution. I've tried actually running the package to regenerate the .pyc file, but no dice.

How do I get my new version of foo.py to import the new version of mypackage?

The first step is to see what package it's actually importing. `print(mp.__file__)` will show you this. – John Gordon Jan 09 '19 at 23:22

If in doubt, restart the interpreter. But `reload` should have worked. – mkrieger1 Jan 09 '19 at 23:23
I'm running Python in Spyder, and simply closing and restarting Spyder fixed my issue. Should I post this as the solution? – Forklift17 Jan 09 '19 at 23:27
