2 ideas:
import sys
for module in sys.modules.values():
   try:reload(module)
   except:pass
I use PythonWin. There are a lot of PythonWin-related things in 
sys.modules, and at least one of them won't reload; that's the reason for 
the try.

1st improvement: keep a list of the modules you want to reload and iterate 
over that list instead on sys.modules.

2nd idea:
I wrote a module manager that makes certain checks to see if a reload is 
needed; my main program uses the module manager to import/reload as needed 
and to run the module's code. If interested let me know.
