  There is no platform-independant way to unload shared object libraries
(even doing it correctly on different releases of the same platform can be a
challenge), and so Python makes absolutely zero attempt to have reload()
work on .so modules.

  I'm not sure you've told us your problem ;)  You have told us one solution
you've selected to your problem, and the problems that *it* has, though.  So
I think I can say that there is no solution to this solution.  Maybe you can
tell us the real problem you're trying to address, and we can all try and
come up with a different solution.
