Any pointers as to why

pants run

executes my file two times? I'm using run to debug some code, but the stdout indicates that everything executes twice. I can reproduce by just calling a python file

libs/some-project/some_module/__init__.py

containing

print("hello")

Ex:

$ pants run libs/some-project/some_module/__init__.py 
hello
hello

This happens without Pants as well.

$ mkdir foobar
$ echo 'print("hello")' >> foobar/__init__.py
$ python -m foobar.__init__
hello
hello

The reason is that it has to import the module

foobar

before executing

__init__.py

.

😩... I was so fixated on

pants

that I did not even think about Python workings. Thank you!
