Importing the same module twice should only execute its code once, and should only lead to one copy of the classes defined in the module's file.
If a subdirectory of $PWD is on $PYTHONPATH, and a package is imported both relative to $PWD and relative to that subdirectory, its code is loaded twice, and its classes are defined twice independently.
Downloading the attached file, and running:
mkdir folder
cd folder
tar xf file.tgz
PYTHONPATH=$(pwd)/package python main.py
should print import once, but does print import twice.
