ASP and importing modules

I posted the original message, sorry I was not clearer. Here is an
example of the way I'm using modules:

This is a module:
 ---------------------
 def main():
   return "yadda yadda yadda"
 ---------------------

This is an ASP script:
 ---------------------
 import module

 Request.Write(module.main())
 ---------------------

This does as expected and prints out "yadda yadda yadda"

Now if I change module.main in any way (for example to return
"blah blah blah") and refresh the page it still returns "yadda yadda
yadda". I can force the new version of the module to load by using
reload() in the ASP script but otherwise I will only ever get the
original module. Changes to the ASP script work as expected just not the
module.

If I want to make changes in a module and have them used this is what I
must do:

This is an ASP script that will reflect changes in the module:
 ---------------------
 import module

 reload(module)

 Request.Write(module.main())
 ---------------------


It seems a little odd to me but I thought it might be for performance
reasons.

thanks, Kelly
