Patrick Maupin added the comment: I don't think anything is wrong with that code. But PEP 8 prescribes a way of doing something that often won't work (which is unusual for PEP 8), with no discussion of this fact.
> I think the key thing to take away from this whole discussion is "don't have > circular imports" is the key practice to follow. If this is a "key practice" then why the heck is the recommended way to do things the one that is guaranteed to break it? I have empirical evidence that it is surprising to some users that the semantics of "from .z import foo" and "from x.y.z import foo" are not identical -- in other words, some of them have a hard time classifying the second as a circular import but not the first. And the documentation is silent on this. > And if someone wants to propose a patch to update some documentation I'll try to get to this in the next couple of weeks.
