i think I figured out the issue. I am running this in Canopy. When I use Canopy Gui to run this, it appears that it loads the imported file only once. So, when I re-start canopy then everything goes fine the first time. When I use command prompt then it works all well.

PS: run is nothing but the front end command that Canopy uses to run Python in the background.
