I'm not sure, if this is the whole truth.

think about this example:

cat bla.py
a = 10

cat foo.py
from bla import a

def stuff():
         return a

cat bar.py
from foo import stuff
print stuff()
a = 5
print stuff()

from bla import *
print a

python bar.py
10
10
10

here the a is coming from bla and is known in the global namespace. But 
the value differs in stuff() and before/after the import statement. So 
the instance of the module differs -> it cannot be a singelton.
