I remember this from the last binary (from Mark) I tried, and I get it too.

IMO, this is a Python bug.  Try this:
"""
>set PYTHONPATH=path/to/spambayes.zip
>python

>>> from spambayes import Options
>>> Options
<module 'spambayes.Options' from
'c:\spambayes\windows\py2exe\dist\lib\spambayes
.zip\spambayes\Options.pyc'>
>>> reload(Options)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
ImportError: No module named Options
"""

Looks to me like reload() doesn't work with module from zip's, which I
presume it should.

Could one of the Python experts correct me if I'm wrong here?  Otherwise I
presume I should open a (python) sf bug about this.
