You could package your program into a function or class and just
restart that.
[code]
# global flag for restart.
do_restart = False
def main(args=None):
# program code
# set do_restart and return to restart
if __name__ == "__main__":
retval = main()
while do_restart:
retval = main()
sys.exit(retval)
[/code]
