Subject: Re: automatic reload
I thought I was reading something specific was made for unittest, although I can't find it now. TurboGears I don't know much about. I'm concerned its reload is specialized for a certain type of file (page generators?) and might not be suitable in general.
The other option I was suggessting PyInitialize and Py_Finalize. Finalize comes with a scary list of issues, which basically say things may fail and memory may leak. I notice also Py_NewInterpreter/Py_EndInterpreter does about the same thing for me. Maybe that's the way to go. But these caveats scare me:
Also note that the use of this functionality is incompatible with extension
modules such as PyObjC and ctypes that use the PyGILState_* APIs (and
this is inherent in the way the PyGILState_* functions work). Simple
things may work, but confusing behavior will always be near.I'm not sure what these are, but they sound like what I would use in embedding the interpreter. But then again, this is a C function designed for embedding. How could this be a problem?

There's the "reload" builtin that you could use. In your method, just
call reload on the modules you need reloaded. TurboGears somehow
watches files for changes, so you might want to check out their source
to see how it works. I'm sure it's something similar.
