That's very odd; require() doesn't do any caching. Even the PEP
302-defined caching (sys.path_importer_cache) is from *particular* path
entries (e.g. app-packages) to importer objects created for them. So if
app-packages wasn't on sys.path, it never would've had anything cached.
Are you able to reliably reproduce the double-failure condition? Is the
error message the same each time?
