[Buildbot-devel] Buildbot 1.0: The Shimmering Vision

[Ben Hearsum]

This is more of a Python issue than a Buildbot one. One way to work  
around it is to import/reload, like this:

import buildbot.process.factory
reload(buildbot.process.factory)
from buildbot.process import factory

It sucks that it takes up so much space, especially when you import  
from many modules, but it does the trick. We use this to load all of  
our custom Buildbot code.
