If you want to repeat the full import, and have each imported version 
get an independent namespace as well as independent code objects and so 
on then you will have to somehow persuade the interpreter that they come 
from different files, I believe.

If you just want to be able to use several names to refer to the same 
module then you have already had a coupe of good answers.
