Here is a log of a case where I had an error in admin_products.py. I edited the file so the variable close WAS defined, and refreshed the page in my browser. As you can see from my logging, the SDK isn't even checking if admin_products.py has changed, despite it finding an error in it! And I've no idea why it is checking admin_settings.py - I haven't browsed to that file since restarting the SDK.

I reverted to 1.7.1 and then 1.7.2 and changes were detected during a minimal test. I then re-installed 1.7.3 and changes were also detected, so I can't say if the problem is related to a particular version without more extensive testing.

I'll continue to use 1.7.3 until it breaks again, then revert to 1.7.2 and use that till it breaks.

Can you try adding the line:
self._dirty = True

as the first line after the docstring in the AreModuleFilesModified() in google/appengine/tools/dev_appserver.py
