When you reload a module, new definitions for existing names replace the old objects; new names are added; old names without a new value keep the previous value. (That is, objects are *replaced* and *added* but not *removed*). Isn't it enough? Or do you actually want to be sure that old names, now unused, are no longer available? -- Gabriel Genellina -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
