If I create a module with imp.new_module(name), how can I unload it so =
that all the references contained in it are set to zero and the module =
is deleted? deleting the reference that is returned doesn=E2=80=99t seem =
to do the job, and it=E2=80=99s not in sys.modules, so where is the =
dangling reference?

Thanks!
