Description

**Affects:** PythonCall

I installed sagelib using CondaPkg in Julia:
`pkg> conda add sagelib`

But importing it requires two calls for sage.all. Here is a Julia session:

Kali Linux on WSL
PythonCall v0.9.28
CondaPkg v0.2.33
Python version:
Python: '3.12.11 | packaged by conda-forge | (main, Jun 4 2025, 15:10:57) [GCC 13.3.0]'
sagelib v10.7

I wonder what happens here since in pure Python that works.
