clear_caches(hard=False)#

Clear all caches in Rez.

Rez caches package contents and iteration during a python session. Thus newly released packages, and changes to existing packages, may not be picked up. You need to clear the cache for these changes to become visible.

Parameters:: hard (bool) – Perform a ‘hard’ cache clear. This just means that the memcached cache is also cleared. Generally this is not needed. This option is for debugging purposes.
