Description

Anybody got any ideas on how to make a change in python code and not reload the whole UI again. Context: I have an app that has steps. Step1 over, go to step 2, step3 over go to step 3. and so on. So if I have reached step3 and the function (API) I call in python (via a button click in UI) throws an error, after fixing it, I have to reload the whole server, that means again going through the process of completing step 1 and step2 and finally reach step3 to see if the changes i made work correctly or not. Is it possible to reload only the python code and not the UI.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate Python module reloading techniques like importlib.reload and check if Eel supports hot reload or if there are workarounds to reload Python code without restarting the UI.
