I think Steve's suggestion fails in this situation. Suppose wibble.py contains a function fn. Now do import wibble fn = wibble.fn # Modify and save wibble.py reload(wibble) fn()

Sure -- but this is just a warning that there *might* be an issue -- if a user doesn't get the warning in some cases (particularly cases in which they have used an "advanced" feature like reload) we aren't any worse off.

+1 on the idea -- I don't see a downside.
