In Python2, reload is in __builtin__ module (and so available without
import at the Python console).
Since Python 3.4 this functionality is in the importlib module.
https://docs.python.org/3.7/library/importlib.html#importlib.reload
reload is a 44 line pure Python function. No need to use it if you
don't want to.
https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/3.7/Lib/importlib/__init__.py#L133-L176
I was writing this as Michael Foord's similar (but concise) post came in.
