A bit more info: Gintautas Miliauskas has done a "view reloader" for Z3 
(http://gintas.pov.lt/darcs/z3reload/README.txt) that only reloads a 
very specific (but most often wanted) type of module.  We've considered 
taking a similar approach and defining a very narrow set of requirements 
to make a module reloadable.  Perhaps something along those lines would 
be useful for Py3K.
