# deep_reload

## Module: `deep_reload`

A module to change reload() so that it acts recursively. To enable it type:

    >>> import __builtin__, deep_reload
    >>> __builtin__.reload = deep_reload.reload

You can then disable it with:

      >>> __builtin__.reload = deep_reload.original_reload

Alternatively, you can add a dreload builtin alongside normal reload with:

      >>> __builtin__.dreload = deep_reload.reload

This code is almost entirely based on knee.py from the standard library.

## Functions
