mod3 changed the value in mod1, and that change shows up in mod2

If you are writing ``mod2.py``, and did not write ``mod3`` (or wrote it long enough ago that you don't remember its details), you might be very surprised that a value in ``mod1`` changes simply because you imported ``mod3``. This is known as a "side effect", and you generally want to avoid them!
