Greetings Denis,
: I import my module (a file of a few lines of simple stuff), edit
: the file, then attempt to reload and get an error. I have to
: quit python, restart python to get the revised file. Can I get
: some clues here?
You are describing what the 'reload' function offers:
http://docs.python.org/2/library/functions.html?highlight=reload#reload
: parents at R2D4:~/Documents/Denis/Python$ python
: Python 2.7.3 (default, Sep 26 2013, 20:03:06)
: [GCC 4.6.3] on linux2
: Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
: >>> from pins_init import*
: >>> cols #test to illustrate that the code was read
: 5
: >>> reload(pins_init)
: Traceback (most recent call last):
: File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
: NameError: name 'pins_init' is not defined
: >>>
You have posted a few Python questions recently. Another option for
language-specific questions is a language-specific mailing list. I
can recommend the Python Tutor mailing list, which is geared toward
exactly the sorts of questions you have been asking.

Good luck,
