Difference in Python and Ruby interactive shells

[malv]

I think reload should be preceded by import.
Example:
Online code modification: upon modifying and saving mytest.py issue on
the interactive shell:
       >>>import mytest
       >>>reload(mytest)

The shell should respond with "<module 'mytest' from
'/root/mytest.py'>"      (NOT:mytest.pyc)

Note that modules importing mytest should not use 'import * from
mytest' but 'import mytest';
This requires qualifying all objects as mytest.obj
