[Python] Manual dictionary entry missing when imported into another file

I have a file where a dictionary is created from reading contents of an excel file. There is a manual entry to the dictionary that's missing when accessed from the second file... (simplified code)

In ref.py, the manual entry being "x":"xyz".

# ref.py
import pandas as pd

df = pd.read_excel('dictfile.xlsx', sheet_name="ref")

def make_dict():
temp_dict = {"x":"xyz"}
for i,r in df.iterrows():
temp_dict[r['key']] = r['value']
return temp_dict

final_dict = make_dict()


Printing the dictionary:

{'x': 'xyz', 'a': 'aaa', 'b': 'bbb', 'c': 'ccc'}


In another file, I'm importing this file so I can reference the dictionary. The dictionary is accessible EXCEPT for the xyz entry.

# run_template.py
from scrap import final_dict

Printing the dictionary:

{'a': 'aaa', 'b': 'bbb', 'c': 'ccc'}
