Well, sometimes you have to roll up your sleeves when the package 
doesn't do exactly what you want.

A solution that hasn't been suggested: write a simple function that 
imports a module, then reloads it, and returns the module object. Then 
use that for all imports. You could also define a "PythonOption 
MyAppDebug True/False" Apache directive, and make the reload instruction 
in your function only happen if this option is True.
