Unfortunately that's not so simple, given the dynamic nature of Python.  
With some help from the programmer, reload may perform better; by example,  
if you never ever do "from module import xxx", and always do "import  
module" and use module.xxx everywhere. But it gets rather annoying, and  
still has many problems.
