It's unlikely to be true, see below.

Actually I do not see your problem and your exact need, when I type the
following in python prompt I just see expected behavior, what is a
problem to you ? Maybe you could post a code explaining it.
In [64]: import a
In [65]: a.X
Out[65]: 0
In [66]: a.X = 2
In [67]: del a
In [68]: import a as b
In [69]: b.X
Out[69]: 2
In [71]: for name in [ n for n in b.__dict__ if not n.startswith('__') ]
:
....: b.__dict__.__delitem__(name)
....:
....:
In [72]: b.X
