limeade 0.1.1
Library for hot reloading Python code at runtime
License: BSD 3-Clause License

::

    pip install limeade


Live module editing and development enhancement supporting hot reloading for
Python 3.4+.

|Travis| |Coverage| |PyPI| |PyPI Downloads|

Usage
-----

Equip your app with the ability to call ``limeade.refresh()`` on
command (e.g. via hotkey) and invoke after making edits to your source files!

Features
--------

- **Speeds up development**: Don't restart your app, refresh your Python code!
- **Automatic**: Just call to ``limeade.refresh()``; Limeade does the rest!
- **Thorough**: Updates your classes/functions even if instantiated/referenced!
- **Object reuse**: Mutable objects are modified in-place; doesn't break **is**!
- **Good source of vitamin A**

Caveats
-------

Limeade is still experimental. I would be deeply appreciative if you could use
it and find ways in which it breaks!

The API is not yet stable. I will keep ``limeade.refresh()`` working, but
that is the extent of the public API for the time being.

Some things which it cannot (even theoretically) handle are:

- **Closures**: These aren't defined at module reload time; even so, it's unsafe
  to mutate code within instantiated closures. Closures will be updated the
  next time they are instantiated.
- **Changes in metaclass**: A class can be mutated if its type (metaclass) isn't
  changing, but Python does not permit changing the type of an existing class.
- **Threads**: This is not incompatible with threading, but note that threads
  may observe the program in an inconsistent state if they're running during a
  refresh operation. Make sure your threads are out of harm's way!

Some things which it may handle in the future:

- **Renaming functions/classes**: Currently, old and new definitions are matched
  via the qualified name. Heuristics can be used to match definitions when they
  are under different names, but this is not yet done.
- **Changes in __slots__ attribute**: New slot descriptors cannot be created;
  however, Limeade could invent its own descriptors for new slots and insert
  those. They wouldn't be as efficient but they would get the job done.
  Descriptors for deleted slots can be cached in case the slot is brought back
  in a future mutation.
- **Changes in base classes**: Initial experiments show that Python is much more
  picky about this one would expect.
- **Automatic rollback**: In case of refresh/mutate failure, it would be great
  to rollback everything to the state it was in before, so that the running app
  isn't left in a half-updated state.
