The following code is not changed by 2to3::
    
    import os
    reload(os)

reload has moved to the imp module.

This should get fixed, but I'm *really* curious about what kind of code actually needs to do this ;-)

Find a fixer for this attached. I really just did sed 's/intern/reload' fix_intern.py >fix_reload.py, but it seems to work. I didn't write any tests (I couldn't seem to find any for any other fixers).

Raymond: Sometimes I store configuration in Python files and would like to reload the configuration.

Miki:  That's a really great use case.  Thanks.

The other use case I see is to reload a module during debugging after changing the code. This is especially useful for big GUI applications.

File looks good, although I’m not sure about the “Copyright 2006 Georg Brandl” line.  I also don’t know if stable branches can get this fix.

I sure didn't have anything to do with that file :)

Ah, that's my fault. As I mentioned, I simply replaced sys with imp and intern with reload from fix_intern.py. Seeing as the vast majority of the file was not modified, I didn't bother to change the copyright notices.

Please find attached a new file with the copyright notice removed.  Would someone like to review it please.

FixIntern → FixReload

More importantly, tests would be great.

Here's a patch that adds tests and updates the documentation.

Thanks for the patch. Could you try to share could with fix_intern? Maybe by moving some things to fixer_utils.

Thanks for the suggestion. Here's a new patch. I'm not sure the name of the helper is correct.

New changeset 3576c0c6f860 by Benjamin Peterson in branch 'default':
add fixer for reload() -> imp.reload() (closes #11797)\n\nPatch by Laurie Clark-Michalek and Berker Peksag
http://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/3576c0c6f860

Since this patch was applied, imp.reload has been deprecated in favor of importlib.reload.  I don't know how we handle differences between python3 versions...is there anything that should be done here, or do we just use imp.reload even though it is deprecated in 3.4?
