Then you're proposing a way for a highly knowledgable user to anticipate, and partially worm around, that Python leaves behind insane module objects in sys.modules. Wouldn't it be better to change Python to stop leaving insane module objects in sys.modules to begin with? That's harder, but seems to me it would do a lot more good for a lot more people.
