Great post!  <The exclamation is NOT meant to reduce its power> Now I see
what all these flames are about.  Here's an example for those still not
getting it:

from module import object
...
<hand edit module.py>
...
import module               # only put old module in current space
reload (module)             # module is new, but object still old
from module import object   # now object is new as well.

It is easy to miss one or two of these during interactive session and get
confused by new edits showing old behavior. (Import module only need to be
done once per session.)
