Does this "just work"? How does it handle classes?
I've been writing my python code in a style that can be hotswapped. Roughly, I use global functions and pass around structs, like C. The function calls are made with `api.foo(data)` instead of `data.foo()`. Then I can just replace `api.foo`'s definition with whatever I want after attaching with a debugger. Example: https://github.com/shawwn/gpt-2/blob/e4868225382e8a475ef3c3d...
I assume there's a much better way to do this, but the class system seems to make it hard to swap things out. Doesn't "isinstance" break if you redefine the class?
EDIT: Oh, this isn't actual hot-reloading for python. Darn. I'm really hoping someone will tackle that... Cool project though!
EDIT2: Actually, this project does seem to reload the modules: https://github.com/say4n/hotreload/blob/0cf3a0b466466f99f8c7...

... so the original question stands.
By the way, you may want to use `import traceback; traceback.print_exc()` to log exceptions. I'm not sure how that plays with python's `logger` class though.
