Modules imported from scripts will not reload when script is rerun about idapython

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I'm sorry, there was a mistake in my above code. Corrected, the function should 
look
like:

def runscript(script):
    """
    Run the specified script after adding its directory path to
    system path.

    This function is used by the low-level plugin code.
    """
    _mc = ModuleCleaner()
    try:
        addscriptpath(script)
        watchdog.reset()
        argv = sys.argv
        sys.argv = [ script ]
        execfile(script, globals())
        sys.argv = argv
    except:
        raise
    finally:
        _mc.revert()


and this should be at the bottom (or wherever, really):

class ModuleCleaner(object):
    def __init__(self):
        self.path = sys.path
        self.std = [sys.stdin, sys.stdout, sys.stderr]
        self.baseModules = sys.modules.copy()

    def revert(self):
        for moduleName in sys.modules.keys():
            if not self.baseModules.has_key(moduleName):
                del(sys.modules[moduleName]) #forcibly unload the module
        sys.stdin, sys.stdout, sys.stderr = self.std
        sys.path = self.path

This code will still fail if the recent file box (Alt-7) is used due to issue 
43.

PS: http://pyunit.sourceforge.net/notes/reloading.html is where I got the idea 
for
the ModuleCleaner object.

Functionality implemented, slightly differently, in 
http://code.google.com/p/idapython/source/detail?r=273

Thanks for the idea!
