For reasons of efficiency as well as consistency, Python only reads the module
file on the first time a module is imported. If it didn't, in a program
consisting of many modules where each one imports the same basic module, the
-basic module would be parsed and re-parsed many times. To force rereading of a

Warning: this technique is not 100% fool-proof. In particular, modules
