[issue43037] Importlib reload by module name (String)

[Serhiy Storchaka]

Serhiy Storchaka <storchaka+cpython at gmail.com> added the comment:

It works as documented. reload() argument must be a module. If you have only module name, sys.modules is a mapping of module names to modules. It is trivial to combine two things in one line.

And why do you want to reload a module by name (without having a reference to module itself)? In general, reload() should be used with caution, it is easy to misuse it.
