Problems updating custom module in web2py site with Reload

I've been working on a custom module in web2py. As I understand it, when I make changes to that file, I have to reload the site for the module file to be compiled and the changes to be recognized. I've been working on it this way for several days. Now, all of a sudden, the Reload button appears to work (it shows the spinning circles, then the button lights up again) , but the changes are no longer being recognized.

I'm running Python 3.7 for this project. I saw in another forum topic, that killing processes may get you unstuck from this kind of problem.

If I kill the Python 3.7 process, will it automatically restart when the website is accessed, or would killing it lead to more a complicated revival process?

Any other ideas for getting my reload function to work?

You mark this issue solved, I suppose. It appears to be working again.

Glad to hear that!
