[New-bugs-announce] [issue25502] unnecessary re-imports

[John Mark Vandenberg]

New submission from John Mark Vandenberg:

The following four modules re-import another module unnecessarily as it is already imported in the global scope.

Lib/getpass.py : msvcrt
Lib/pickletools.py : sys
Lib/smtplib.py : sys
PC/testpy.py : os

In each case, the import being removed in the attached patch existed in the source code before the import which now occurs first.  i.e. an import was added and the same import elsewhere in the module was not removed.
