jurigged | Hot reloading for Python

First, if there's a problem, use the verbose flag (jurigged -v) to get more information. It will output a Watch <file> statement for every file that it watches and Update/Add/Delete <function> statements when you update, add or delete a function in the original file and then save it. By default, scripts are watched in the current working directory. Try jurigged -w <file> to watch a specific file, or jurigged -w / to watch all files. It's possibly because you are using an editor that saves into a temporary swap file and moves it into place (vi does this). The watchdog library that Jurigged uses loses track of the file when that happens. Pending a better solution, you can try to configure your editor so that it writes to the file directly. For example, in vi, :set nowritebackup seems to do the trick (either put it in your .vimrc or execute it before you save for the first time). If you are editing the body of a for loop inside a function that's currently running, the changes will only be in effect the next time that function is called. A workaround is to extract the body of the for loop into its own helper function, which you can then edit. Alternatively, you can use reloading alongside Jurigged. Similarly, updating a generator or async function will not change the behavior of generators or async functions that are already running. There may be issues updating some functions when they are decorated or stashed in some data structure that Jurigged does not understand. Jurigged does have to find them to update them, unfortunately.
