    >> It seems counterintuitive to me that reloadtst.b should still be

    Guido> Intentional.  A module's __dict__ is not emptied when the
    Guido> reloaded module is executed.  This allows code like this (which I
    Guido> have written) that preserves a cache across relaod() calls:

    Guido>     try:
    Guido>         cache
    Guido>     except NameError:
    Guido>         cache = {}

Thanks.  I saw that in the doc shortly after posting.  I hope you don't mind
that I just added that example to the doc.
