The subprocess idea is important I agree. Also, psychologically, we would like students to see putting code in a module as "canning for later" i.e. there's a strong prejudice against thinking of the current session namespace as containing anything vital to the operations of the module. Picturing emailing the code to a distant user who has never once booted Python is another mental exercise one might use.
