load .py file in interpreter?

Once you're running in the interpreter, how do you load (or re-load)
some foo.py Python code into the interpreter? (I'm using JPython, by the
way.)

This seems like something basic for interactive development. I must be
missing something obvious.

I found it:

execfile("foo.py")

Joe,

Check out the import statement and the reload function as well as the
execfile function you found. Both import and reload are used to import (or
reimport) a module into the current namespace.
