I'm debugging an IDAPython script on my host machine and I have IDA running on my Windows VM. The folder containing the IDAPython script on the host machine is shared with the VM.
The first time I run the IDAPython script in IDA it works fine. However, for subsequent runs a cached version of the script seems to be running. I end up having to close and re-start IDA in order for the changes to get loaded up. Is there an easier way? I run scripts as File > Open Script file.
You can use idaapi.require("module_name") to reload the script.
There is more information about it in the HexBlog article, Loading your own modules from your IDAPython scripts with idaapi.require().
