Comment (by marco):

 Replying to [ticket:2773 J5]:
 > Some of the sugar python files run code outside of functions and classes
 which is run every time the module is imported.

 Hmmm http://docs.python.org/tut/node8.html

 "A module can contain executable statements as well as function
 definitions. These statements are intended to initialize the module. They
 are executed only the first time the module is imported somewhere."

 And the test-import testcase which I attached seem to confirm it.

 What am I missing?
