Joseph, you're going to have to learn more about how Python
works if you want to take this any further. It's not really
possible to discuss it in terms as high-level as this. You're
making some assumptions about the overall structure that
aren't really true.

There is an approach that might work, but it's rather
different. Instead of trying to load the new code directly
into the old module, load it into a new, temporary module
and then compare the contents of the two, transferring
selected parts where appropriate.
