The initial implementation (in #7246) introduced the `importlib` mode, which never added the imported module to `sys.modules`, so it included a test to ensure calling `import_path` twice would yield different modules. Not adding modules to `sys.modules` proved problematic, so we began to add the imported module to `sys.modules` in #7870, but failed to realize that given we are now changing `sys.modules`, we might as well avoid importing it more than once. Then #10088 came along, passing `importlib` also when importing application modules (as opposed to only test modules before), which caused problems due to imports having side-effects and the expectation being that they are imported only once. With this PR, `import_path` returns the module immediately if already in `sys.modules`. Fix #10811 Fix #10341
