[Tutor] Modules - problem

[Magnus Lycka]

Have a look at the documentation for reload and
__import__ (Library reference section 2.1)

It's probably easier for us to be helpful if you
tell us what you are trying to achieve. There might
be other options that are more relevant, like openinig
a file and running exec (or rexec) on the contents, or
using the ConfigParser module.

You can import files with non-typical filenames using
the imp module (see Lib Ref 3.21), but AFAIK that mean
that no compiled version will be saved. (.pyc)
