Not so easy. The current CPython implementation assumes that once an object is allocated, it is never moved to another memory location. If doing that were allowed, all the object references had to be updated, or another level of indirection would be required, and neither alternative looks very promising. The reload function tries to reuse the module object itself, but its contents are destroyed and recreated. Maybe for some simple changes like the above the *same* function object could be re-utilized, but not in the general case. -- Gabriel Genellina -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
