No, the reloas is not a real problem, since the engine internally 
redirects the stdlib file pointers stdin and stdout to a internal pipe, 
so I still get the output. I expected that behaviour and wondered if I 
could bypass it, so hacked the pythoncore sources and found that somehow 
PyImport_ReloadModule() is reloading sys somehow, but I didn't found out 
  how it does this. It more a question out of interest. If I'd really 
need certain builtin modules in a specific state after a reload I'd just 
hook that to and watch for these modules reloaded to change them 
thereafter back to my engine's stuff.
