AFAIK there is no way to reload a module called by an External Method 
without restarting Zope.  I have encountered this situation many many times. 
If at all possible you should set up a development server so that you can do 
this more quickly (my restarts take about 10-15 seconds) and not impact 
production users.

If you are really stuck with a single server for production and development 
one possible work-around is that you could copy the module source code into 
your external method, develop/debug, then move it out into its own file when 
has been completed.
