How are you "launching" it? From a batch file or shell script?
 From another Python program? From the Python prompt?

It sounds like you might be using  a Python >>> prompt and not reloading 
the module after making changes. importing a second time won't work as 
Python knows you already have it and ignores it. You must use reload() 
for changes to take effect.

If thats not it then we need more details about what you are doing.

HTH,
