Would it be reasonable to always do a stat() on the directory, reloading if there's been a change? Would this be reliable across platforms?
To detect a new shadowing you'd have to stat all the directories along sys.path, not just the one you think the file is in. That might wipe out most of the advantage.
It would be different on platforms which provide a way of "watching" a directory and getting notified of changes. I think MacOSX, Linux and Windows all provide some way of doing that nowadays, although I'm not familiar with the details.
