How to implement code rewriting by the application during its execution?

Question

Python

There is a voice assistant written in python. You want to add a feature that allows you to make changes to the program code while the application is running.
Example:
-Jarvis, crack that thing over there.
- Sir, I can't.
- So learn, Jarvis.
- The learning process has begun.
My execution plan:

• Create a copy of the project files
  
• Open the required file for editing
  
• Add code
  
• Build project (via console)
  
• Run a new project in the background
  
• Kill the current (old) application process
  

Now the fun part... Will it work? If not, please make adjustments to this mega detailed plan xD

Answer 1

Jarvis, read about AST .
