Clear Only Project Modules (Python recipe) by Cornelius Jatniel Prinsloo
ActiveState Code (http://code.activestate.com/recipes/578982/)

Useful for python sessions that have a long startup time because of external dependancies [In my case that would be pygame and pymunk] I've got a slow computer so it takes a while to startup this is the solution I came up with

import this before any other of your project imports example: import reloading # The modules in your project folder get cleared then load the rest of your project modules

make sure that the reloading script is in your project folder, or else it won't work

You might be able to extend this by changing line

Python, 27 lines
