What about sys.pathimportercache: all of it or just NullImporter/None entries (or should that be a boolean to this function)? And shouldn't it be called resetimport() with the level of changes you are proposing the function make?

Hmm, perhaps the simpler suggestion is: "If you want a clean import state, use multiprocessing or the subprocess module to invoke a new instance of python" :)

Cheers, Nick.
