Executing global code

[Zac Burns]

I'm not sure I fully understand the question "no moving the code to a
function", but you can prevent reload in a module by doing something
like this:

doLoad = False
try:
  no_reload
except NameError:
  no_reload = True
else:
  raise RuntimeError, "This module is not meant to be reloaded."
