Parent classes cannot be reloaded about reloadr HOT 4 OPEN

Hi Alex,

This behaviour is currently not supported:

When you use @reloadr or @autoreload on a class, the result that would be a reference to the class is in fact a callable object that will keep a reference to the instance.
Source: https://github.com/hoh/reloadr/blob/master/reloadr.py#L119

This works fine when reloadr is used on a child class, but does not support inheritance.

I renamed this issue as this is a behaviour I would like reloadr to support.

from reloadr.

Here is a complete example that fails to work:

from time import sleep
from reloadr import reloadr


@reloadr
class Vehicle:
    x = 0
    y = 0

    def __init__(self, x=0, y=0):
        self.x = x
        self.y = y

    def move(self, dx=0, dy=0):
        self.x += dx
        self.y += dy


class Car(Vehicle):

    def position(self):
        return 'Car on {} {}'.format(self.x, self.y)


car = Car(1000, 3000)
while True:
    car.move(1, 1)
    print(car.position())
    sleep(0.5)
    Car._reload()

from reloadr.

Hi Hoh,
I run 01_manual_reload.py in the examples directory,error is as follows:
TypeError: class must be set to a class, not 'ClassReloadr' object
python-BaseException.
I am using python3.9 on the win10 platform,What is the cause of this error?
