Reload code in debug mode
Answered
Hi!
I'd like to know if there's a way to edit the code while debugging. Suppose the line that I want to change is not reached, like this
Here I'd like to change line 4 to, say, "b = 1 / (a + 1)" and then continue to debug, without restarting.
I heard that there's workaround with importlib.reload(), is there an easy way to reload module in the current frame? Or any other solution?
Thank you!

Unfortunately, there is no feature for that.
See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23333815/is-there-edit-and-continue-in-pycharm-reload-code-into-running-program-like-i?answertab=votes#tab-top for another possible workaround.

Thanks, Sergey!
Still haven't found a way to reload a debugger, but now I know it's currently not implemented in Pycharm. Surprised that this feature has so few votes ;(
You can try my PyCharm plugin Reloadium that adds hot reloading ( aka edit and continue) to any python application.

If you have objects in your code that you don't wan't to reload you might need to wrap them with # reloadium: no_reload as described here:
