[mod_python] Reloading of modules

(I've searched thru the list archives and the following message seems
to be relevent, but there was no useful followup:
http://www.modpython.org/pipermail/mod_python/2001-May/001324.html)

Using the following test script:
from mod_python import apache

i = 0
def test(req):
    req.content_type = "text/html"
    req.send_http_header ()

    global i
    req.write (str(i) + "<br>")
    i += 1
    return ""

This works as expected until you start refreshing quickly, when the
counter gets reset.

Why is mod_python reimporting the file?

httpd.conf:
    SetHandler python-program
    PythonHandler mod_python.publisher
    PythonInterpreter main
    PythonDebug on

Thanks

AGL
