Context:

I had been developing some project in python and had decided to move functions which used to separate files (functions.py). I had created and imported it in my notebook. After that I added some functions to the file.

After I had reloaded the cell with import I tried to run the cell with code, which uses composition from functions.py, and found out that it wasn’t imported.

I restarted the kernel and cell comiled.

Why didn’t notebook import my file wholly? Maybe because it caсhed first time and did not read the actual file again?

Code of functions.py:

def composition(f:callable, g:callable) -> callable:
    def cmp(x):
        return f(g(x))
    return cmp

Code of project.ipynb:

Cell 1:

from functions import *

Cell2:

s = composition(lambda x: x**2, lambda x: x**4)

Error:

I use python 3.8.10 64-bit and editor is Visual Studio Code 1.61.2
