I should add (that as I understand it), when you do a 'from foo import
blah', or 'from foo import *', this is doing a /copy/ (effectively) of
that module's attributes into the current namespace.
Not a copy (which means duplicating the attribute) but a new reference
to the original attribute. Example
>>> import sys
>>> from sys import modules
>>> sys.modules is modules
True
>>> m = dict(sys.modules) # create a copy
>>> m is modules
False
