If you are working in an IDE that is written in Python (IDLE, MacPython
IDE, PythonWin, etc.) you might want to do:

import mymod
reload(mymod)

Everywhere while you are developing, so you will be assured of always
getting a fresh version when you run your code. 

When a module is stable, you can delete the reload()
