NameError: name 'reload' is not defined

Question

I'm using python 3.2.2. When I write a simple program, I meet the problem.

>>> reload(recommendations) Traceback (most recent call last):   File "<pyshell#6>", line 1, in <module>     reload(recommendations) NameError: name 'reload' is not defined 

How should I do it?

Answer 1

An update to @Gareth Latty's answer. imp was depreciated in Python 3.4. Now you want importlib.reload().

from importlib import reload 

Answer 2

You probably wanted importlib.reload().

from importlib import reload 

In Python 2.x, this was a builtin, but in 3.x, it's in the importlib module.

Note that using reload() outside of the interpreter is generally unnecessary, what were you trying to do here?
