Issue description

When using openvino from python on Windows, the program will start twice when running from the command prompt. The following code will reproduce the problem if copied into a file e.g. test_import.py and running as python test_import.py

print("--------------start--------------")
import openvino
print(openvino.__version__)
import time
for i in range(10):
    print("sleep", i)
    time.sleep(0.1)
print(" * finish")

The program will somehow call itself and re-start a new instance, which I believe may be caused by a circular import. I tested several other complex libraries, but found that openvino was the only one to exhibit this behavior.

Step-by-step reproduction
