dynamic modules?

# Reload any/all modules (N.B. untested)
import sys

def reloadAll():
    for mod in sys.modules.keys():
        reloadModule(mod)

def reloadModule(name):
    reload(sys.modules[name])

Possible. Tricky to automate though.

No. The object's d'tor is not called until the last reference is removed.
