[mod_python] Udate python modules without restarting Apache

There is indeed very little information on the Internet about the
apache.import_module funtion. I did find this Wiki page:
http://modpython.coedit.net/ReloadingModules

I now import all my Python modules using apache.import_module, except
for all the Standard Library imports. All indirectly imported modules
are also imported with apache.import_module. In my .htaccess file I
have set PythonAutoReload On.

But, when I make a change in a module, save it and refresh my browser,
the module is NOT reloaded. Why? Has anyone succefully used
apache.import_module?

Thanks,
Berry.
