Using python, how do you “reload cache” an opened Attribute Table

Question

Used python to update a shapeFile through cursors. The Shapefile is updated, but there could be an opened Attribute Table. Manually you can hit "reload cache" to update the Attribute Table and see the changes. I would like the python script to reload the cache, so the user does not have to remember to do this.

Try the easy things first, like clearing and resetting the Layer's definition query or resetting its data source with the arcpy.mapping module. Failing that you could use ArcObjects in Python to refresh the table view via ITableWindow.Refresh.
