Changing admin classes in runtime

I want to change admin classes programmatically without restarting server. I want to for example change list displays of a model in runtime. Now it only changes when I restart the server... Example (Versionadmin is an extention of modeladmin):

admin.site.unregister(model)

class YourModelAdmin(VersionAdmin):
        list_display = new_list_display

admin.site.register(model, YourModelAdmin)

This works if I run it in admin.py, but if I run it when the admin site is already setup, nothing changes. Any idea how to go about this?

Have you tried reloading the module after you make changes? Python 3+

import importlib.reload as reload
reload(admin)

Python 2.7+

reload(admin)
