Or more precisely, although you can

   import HUGO
   reload(HUGO)

to reload the module HUGO, that won't make any difference 
to the values you've already imported from it into the 
namespaces of other modules.

On the other hand, if you just 'import HUGO' and then
use HUGO.whatever everywhere, there is no problem.

YARNTUFMI* (yet another reason not to use 'from module import *').
