title: Same module is being imported in different files
body: <p>Is it a bad practice to do this:</p>
  
  <p>In first.py:</p>
  
  <pre><code>import second
  import mymodule
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>In second.py:</p>
  
  <pre><code>import mymodule
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><code>mymodule</code> is being imported in both files and first.py imports second.py. Is it possible to somehow import the <code>mymodule</code> just once? It's not a big deal, it's just not elegant nor Pythonic IMO.</p>
