Also you have to reload your modules in the correct order.
Example.
You have a module that defines a base class and some other generic module
methods. m1.py
You then have m2.py that uses m1 base class.
myBetterClass(m1.baseCalss):
pass
reloading m1 after m2 will cause all sorts of errors as the metaclass mro
has been broken.
What I've done is write a _Reload() function in the root module. It walks
the imports in order and reloads the modules if it hasn't already been
reloaded.
