You shouldn't do this and this can have unexpected, unintended repurcusions. Proceed with caution, you have been warned!

usage

Say you have script (script.py) that you want to run every time the code changes in that file.

To do that, it is as simple as doing this:

import time
import logging
from hotreload import Loader


if __name__ == "__main__":
    logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)
    script = Loader("script.py")

    while True:
        # Check if script has been modified since last poll.
        if script.has_changed():
            # Execute a function from script if it has been modified.
            script.main()

        time.sleep(1)
