Oh yes, I did forget something... If you need to reload module later in
the program, like this: reload(module), then you *have* to use import
module; module.func() method of usage. In other two, functions get
imported, but when you reload the module, functions are still the 'old'
ones. You can still do import module as mod and then do reload(mod),
though.
