How to automatically reload a python file when it is changed

Question

If I make some changes to one of the files belonging to a running app, is there a way to tell the python runtime to automatically reload the module/file?

Take at look at CherryPy's Autoreload feature. I think it looks quite simple and always worked well for me.

Take look at Django's autoreload module. It works very well.

Here is a very old module that I posted nearly ten years ago. I may no longer work with current Python versions (I have not checked) but it may give some ideas.
