How to clear code cache in python/django?

Question

Sorry, I'm newbie on python. I change code in .py file but no changes happens. Guess, script code is cahced in memory.

What should I do to make my changes working?

PS: tried to delete complied .pyc file, no luck 8-( guess, IO need to try to restart uwsgi/nginx?

Answer 1

Older versions of django

find . -name "*.pyc" -exec rm -rf {} \;

New version of django has this:

python manage.py clean_pyc

If you simply want to restart the webserver it depends on the configuration you are using:

1. via gunicorn: use --reload option

2. via django inbuilt runserver: since version 1.7 it automatically does that.

Answer 2

Just touch the WSGI file: touch wsgi.py and your project should refresh.
