the import statement only goes out and loads the code the first time
it asked for a module, then it gets cached in sys.modules.

you can manually reload a module with the reload builtin function,
you might want to use that in your __main__ block. 

reloading gets hairy fast in more complicated setups (see eg
<URL: http://pyunit.sourceforge.net/notes/reloading.html>), but should
work with no trouble for this case.
