can modules be dynamically reloaded

[Steve]

Can python modules be reloaded.

For example you import a module, programatically edit it, then have the
file reload the module?

Does anyone have any ideas about this?

Yes:

import mymod
....
reload(mymod)

But this will not always work as expected (what someone would expect who
does not really understand how it works...). Read the documentation on
<http://docs.python.org/lib/built-in-funcs.html#l2h-59>
