Need some help with how to reimport an asset from python.

My asset importer imports an fbx to a temp folder then moves all the assets to their proper location once it figures out the proper naming.
This works great unless the asset already exists. Then it errors saying asset exists so I thought for those cases I’d just reimport on the existing asset. However I can’t find any way to force an asset reimport.

I found some references online to a function: asset_reimport() but it doesn’t seem to exist anywhere I can find in the docs or when I try to use it

Anybody have this working?

OK I think I got it:
It wasn’t clear that the import task could target a specific imported asset without reimporting everything, so just resuing the import task seems to be working.
