 For reasons of efficiency as well as consistency, Python only reads the module
 file on the first time a module is imported.  If it didn't, in a program
 consisting of many modules where each one imports the same basic module, the
-basic module would be parsed and re-parsed many times.  To force rereading of a

 changed module, do this::
