Still in mod2: mod1.x = 555
mod3 changed the value in mod1, and that change shows up in mod2

You can see that when ``mod2`` changed the value of ``mod1.x``, that changed the value everywhere that ``mod1`` is imported. You want to be very careful about this.

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!
