Restarting the python debugger, pdb, while propagating program changes

Question

I am debugging a python program using the python debugger pdb.

E.g. python -m pdb myscript.py

Is there a way to rerun the script propagating the new changes in myscript.py? The command run does not do this.

In gdb, I believe there was a way to compile (from within gdb) and the restart the debugging session.

I was hoping for a similar feature in pdb, so that I do not need to exit pdb and then start it again just to get my changes in myscript.py to be propagated.

Use run, or restart, which is an alias of run. This will restart the program with all the new changes but preserve the breakpoints and other debugger information.
