A reload() maybe?

>>> import decimal
>>> d = decimal.Decimal()
>>> reload(decimal)
<module 'decimal' from '/usr/lib/python2.5/decimal.pyc'>
>>> decimal.Decimal(d)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>

    raise TypeError("Cannot convert %r to Decimal" % value)
TypeError: Cannot convert Decimal("0") to Decimal
