Okay, that make sense.

Now the question is: regarding the re-binding behavior, is this
actually problematic? By that I mean that is it good coding practice
to avoid this issue altogether as much as possible, or is it okay to
live with it if you use the __init__ argument trick you have shown?

I suggested the "argument trick" for diagnosis only.

One /good/ coding practice is to choose descriptive names for (toplevel)
objects. Another is to avoid

from module import *

style imports which tend to be the most common source of name clashes.
