Not so simple. The .pyc file is trash if the .py file is newer.

I suggest you follow the earlier lead to Greg's imputil.py. You will 
still have to write code, but you'll be fitting your code into a 
"sane" architecture.

Greg's is at: http://www.lyra.org/greg/small/

If he hasn't yet patched it to properly pass on reload requests, you 
can get a patched version from:
