The second to last talks about the __import__ quirk with out calling __import__ out as deprecated. The last uses the imp module for reload. |

imp.reload() doesn't seem to be deprecated, and importlib.reload() doesn't exist. Is there another alternative or it just hasn't been moved somewhere else? |

FTR here is a link to the FAQs: http://docs.python.org/3/faq/programming.html#import-x-y-z-returns-module-x-how-do-i-get-z |

Hasn't been moved yet. And the __import__ question should probably be rephrased as "don't do this". |

The attached patch changes the body of the __import__ faq entry to suggest using `importlib.import_module` instead. |
