Referencing the source distribution; file 
Python/import.c:

lines 1881 through 1884 read:

if (parent == NULL) {
 PyErr_Format(PyExc_ImportError,
 "reload(): parent %.200s not in sys.modules",name); 

It might be more correct to subsitute the variable
parentname here (rather than 'name') since it is
the parentname'd module that wasn't found.  Perhaps
there was some other intent in mind.....

No:
1) I read the error string as "the parent of 'name' is not 
in sys.modules", which is indeed what's intended.
2) parentname is a PyObject* and name is a char*
(I assume it is correct to close this bug)
