This is *very* unlikely.

  First of all, there is a reference in "sys.modules".

  Then, when "mymodules" defines functions or methods, they
  reference "mymodule" and prevent unloading.

You can try:

    mymodule.__dict__.clear() # this clears the module
    import sys; del sys.modules['mymodule']
    del mymodule

When there are no longer any instances of classes defined
in "mymodule", it may unload...
