The form of import you are using
from helpers import mostRecent
makes a *new* binding to the value in the module that's doing the
import.

What you can do, is not make a separate binding, but reach into the
helpers module to get the value there. Like this:

import helpers
print helpers.mostRecent

Gary, are you asserting that in these separate situations:

one.py:

from helpers import mostRecent
x = mostRecent

two.py:

import helpers
x = helpers.mostRecent

.... the name "x" will be bound to different objects?
