Noob question

[rocco.rossi at gmail.com]

Tinkering with Python I find myself often writing scripts and then
experimenting with the interactive interpreter, which is really a cool
way to learn a language. However, when, after loading a module with

import <module>

or

from module import *

and using it, I make a change to the module file, the changes are not
effective after re-importing that same module, and I have to exit the
interpreter and restart all over. Isn't there some way to avoid this
annoying process?

Thank you.
