mod_python and updated files

[Aaron Scott]

I have mod_python running on my server, but when I chance a Python
file on the server, Apache needs to be restarted in order to have the
changes take effect. I assume this is so mod_python can run
persistently, but it's becoming quite a headache for development. Is
there a way to turn off the persistence, or a way to force mod_python
to compile and run the new version of the file?
