I don't think you need to worry. The python primitive "id" returns a 
unique identifier for it's argument (I recall reading the it's the 
memory location of the object).

Anyway, I have a module called foo.py which has this

import sys
print id(sys)


Then I start python and do this
import sys
print id(sys)
3084566644
import foo
3084566644
id(foo.sys)
3084566644
sys is foo.sys
True


So, it is the same object. You don't have to worry.

Peace.
