Do plain modules, that are imported inside of a %%cell_to_module cell need to be re-loaded in any particular way, after they've been changed?

if you have the same kernel running you either need to restart it or do something like:

import importlib
importlib.reload(MODULE)

or try using the reload extension magic

%load_ext autoreload
%autoreload 2

I haven’t tried the second one with the hamilton jupyter magic though

ok, I've come up with this scheme

%%cell_to_module reload_test_module

import dag_common

import importlib
importlib.reload(dag_common)
from dag_common import commonfunction

It seems to be necessary, to load the module first (not only the actually desired function), so that can be reloaded … and after that, the specified import can happen. Does this exist somewhere in the documentation? I was only able to find the reloading of an entire hamilton dag module on https://hamilton.dagworks.io/en/latest/how-tos/use-in-jupyter-notebook/#step-3-the-basic-process-of-iteration

Yeah we haven’t documented that for people iterating on other internal modules + using the hamilton jupyter magic
