Currently reload() returns the module that loader.load_module() returns, rather than returning the one in sys.modules.  This is different from what happens during normal import.  I would expect reload() to return what's in sys.modules.  Perhaps this got overlooked when we moved reload()?  I haven't had a chance to verify, but I do recall that the switch to importlib-based import in 3.3 exposed a bug where importlib wasn't returning the module in sys.modules during normal import.

I'm sure it's an oversight.

Yep.  In 2.7 and 3.2 the PyImport_ExecCodeModuleEx() function in Python/importlib.c returns the module found in sys.modules.  Here is a patch.  I suppose this should be fixed in 2.7 as well.  Thoughts?

I think you mean in 3.3 and yes. =) Patch LGTM so I say fix in 3.3 and merge into default.

oops.  That commit message for 3.3 should have read "imp.reload()". :)
