If all you really want this for is reloading, it would probably make 
more sense to simply modify the existing class and function objects 
using the reloaded values as a template, then save the modified 
classes and functions back to the module.

Have you tried http://pypi.python.org/pypi/plone.reload or 
http://svn.python.org/projects/sandbox/trunk/xreload/xreload.py, or 
any other existing code reloaders, or tried extending them for your 
specific use case?
