And based on the original description of exec'ing code into the module's dictionary, the module is actually quite superfluous - just exec the code into an empty dict and you'll get a similar result. Though if you're doing a lot with code reloading, you may want to consider a language with stronger support for it, like Pike. Python can do it, but it's not really something most people do, so the language and stdlib are generally built on the assumption that, once loaded, code stays loaded.
