A module isn't actually unloaded when you del it, it's simply not accessible
under that name anymore in the current namespace.

If you want to know all the names in the current namespace, use dir().

All the modules currently loaded in the system are in sys.modules. So import
sys and print sys.modules.

(For a nicer way to view it, use prettyprint:
import sys, pprint
pprint.pprint(sys.modules)
)

But usually there's no need to unload modules.
