I have a big, 2000-line module, mycalc.py  that is a collection of
useful functions, most written by myself. I often import one or
another function from it and use it in the Ulipad shell. Then I see
that the function needs a small revision. I modify it in the module,
then want to test it and then use the new version in the shell. I'd like
to be able to do this in IPython.

Hey, IPython is so cool I thought it must have what IDLE has. And 
relaunching takes longer.
