No need to import more than once. The 'import' statement binds a
module object to the specified name, and you can bind as many names as
you like to the same object.

    >>> import sys
    >>> foo = sys
    >>> bar = sys
    >>> print sys.maxint
    2147483647
    >>> print foo.maxint
    2147483647
    >>> print bar.maxint
    2147483647
