Now that you've got reset, you might want to consider an alternative solution:

def fA(input):
   return input

oldfA = fA   # Hold a reference to the the old function

def newFA(input):
    "Do something new"
    return oldfA(input)

fA = newFA


The advantage of this is that you don't need to change the function newfA at all 
when you're ready to rename it.
