Py file import stops importing

when I try to run these two scripts together after a few tries it stops working? Is this because of the import module?

test1.py

test = input("Go to new script?: ")
if test=="yes":
    print("going to new script")
    import test2

test2.py

test = input("Go to old script?: ")
if test=="yes":
    print("going to new script")
    import test1

Error is that it ends itself. 

C:\Users\bj\Desktop>python test1.py
Go to new script?: yes
going to new script
Go to old script?: yes
going to new script
Go to new script?: yes
going to new script

C:\Users\bj\Desktop>

import remember already imported files and it doesn't import them again.

Better put code in functions and import function from second file to first file and run it in loop . Second function should use return to go back to first function.

test2.py

def func2():
    while True:
        answer = input("Go to old script?: ")
        if answer.lower() == "y":
            print("Going back to old script")
            return

test1.py

from test2 import func2

def func1():
    while True:
        answer = input("Go to new script?: ")
        if answer.lower() == "y":
            print("Going to new script")
            func2()

func1()
