The big deal with reload is that if module A depends on B and you change B, reload(A) will not reload the changes you’ve made on B, possibly causing strange behavior. The best thing is to delete from sys.module…

deleting loaded module from sys.module list and importing once again seems to be same as reload. so whats a big deal in reload(myModule)?

UPDATE:
If you are using PyScripter, a better option is to enable the remote interpreter, this gives you the option of resetting the interpreter with a quick key press. It requires downloading the 2.6 version of the rpyc module. I placed it in my \Python\Lib\site-packages directory and restarted PyScripter.
