I'm working on the v3 version of my tutor and while testing some
module code I tried to reload the module in IDLE... I got an error:

>>> import os
>>> reload(os)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#65>", line 1, in <module>
    reload(os)
NameError: name 'reload' is not defined
>>>

Has reload been removed in V3?
Whats the alternative? Does a repeated import auto-reload?

I'm surprised and confused...
