The imp module was deprecated in Python 3.4 in favor of the importlib module. From the documentation for the imp module:
Deprecated since version 3.4: The imp package is pending deprecation
in favor of importlib.

>>> import importlib
>>> importlib.reload
<function reload at 0x01BA4030>
>>> importlib.reload(the_module)
