I think the only reliable way to do this is to stop your scgi server
process and then restart it.  Once the process has loaded the module,
it does not keep checking to see if the source code changed.
Python supports reloading of modules, but you can't really trust
the results for a number of reasons.  Classes from the old module,
for example, may already be imported into other modules, so you might
observe a mixture of old and new class behavior.

Also, make sure that you don't have both "foo.py" and "foo.ptl" in
one directory.  That does not work.
