Is it possible to `refresh` cmd, so that it now runs the `updated` python file?

For example, if I have a file called test.py which looks like the following:

a = 3

and I run from cmd:

python -i test.py, and then just type a, I get returned 3. Let's say in the actual test.py I change the value of a to 4.

Now we have

a = 4

I save, when I go back to the cmd (I never closed it), and type a, its still 3. I have to restart the terminal, do the python -i test.py again to get the updated version. This is why I want to know if there's a way to reload, or update cmd of the current changes.
