Modules, once imported, stay in memory. You may not want this (otherwise, why
not just import them at startup?)
Something I learnt a long time ago (the hard way) was that Python's module
loading mechanisms are really good for loading modules and organising them.
Python's exec() and execfile() functions are really good for running
arbitrary python code. Don't use one where you can use the other :)
