Has reload been removed in V3?
Not removed, just moved.
>>> import imp
>>> imp.reload
<built-in function reload>
The reason for moving it is that reload is quite simple-minded and full
of traps for the unwary, and consequently isn't useful enough to be in
the build-it namespace.
Whats the alternative? Does a repeated import auto-reload?
Absolutely not! That would make importing much more expensive, and
change the behaviour. import(module) caches the module in sys, so that
subsequent imports are fast.
