You need to "reload" the module to pick up the changes.
>>> help(reload)
Help on built-in function reload in module __builtin__:
reload(...)
reload(module) -> module
Reload the module. The module must have been successfully
imported before.

In addition there is a Restart menu option in IDLE that will
effectively
give you a new empty shell environment if you have lots of imported
modules.
However I'm not sure if reload will work if you use the from X import
*
approach since that imports all of the names rather than the module
itself.
In that case restart is probably the best bet - or switch to the safer
import X
style.
