First off, thanks for the answer. I don't see the cached module as a problem
here. If you provide arguments to a module, the goal is "most likely" to
alter/parameterize the behavior of the first import. Now, I agree that behavior
becomes unpredictable because passing different parameters on subsequent
imports won't change the behavior of the imported module . One thing that could
be done is to memoize those imports based on the parameters (this is a huge
change to how imports works so its a bit yikes). Another solution would be to
simply not cache parameterized imports. You sacrifice performance for added
flexibility which I think is fair. I do however agree about partial imports. It
would be rather complex to properly pass the context but its certainly doable.
