Paul Moore <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: Is that true? loader.load_module(pkg) should return sys.modules[pkg] without reloading if it already exists. See PEP 302 "Specification part 1: The Importer Protocol":
The load_module() method has a few responsibilities that it must fulfil *before* it runs any code: - If there is an existing module object named 'fullname' in sys.modules, the loader must use that existing module. (Otherwise, the reload() builtin will not work correctly.) If a module named 'fullname' does not exist in sys.modules, the loader must create a new module object and add it to sys.modules. I've added a test for this, but I'm not 100% sure it's right. It certainly works with unchanged code. If you can make it fail, let me know and I'll work up a fix. But I think repeated calls to load_module() should be safe (assuming loaders work as required by PEP 302).
