reload function which is inside another function

[rushilV]

Environment : Linux os Hi am trying to reload the function which is present within another function like this:

async def run():
    print("RUN Component")
    @reloadr
     async def function2():
          print("Function 2")
          return 0
      while True:
          await function2()
          sleep(5)

and calling that in while loop. The problem here is when i change the print statement in function2 and save it am getting the following error and the value printing is still the old one.

**Error**

IndentationError: unexpected indent

However my indentations are correct the same code will run perfectly when initialized as separate function i.e outside of the main function

[hoh]

This is not supported yet, and would be more complex to implement as it would require accessing the namespace of the other function.

Do you have a usecase for this ?
