1. Your directory/package hierarchy is far too complicated. Flatten it. 2. You have circular references: the others module will import from utils, but utils wants to import from others. This is prima facie evidence that your modules are not structured properly. Rule 1: Modules should contain /related/ classes and functions. Rule 2: A graph of what imports what should not have loops. Consider combining others and utils -- does that make sense? Another alternative: split out those "some functions of myutils.py (ie myutils_func1 and myutils_func2)" into a fourth module. This module might be the nucleus of a tool-kit of miscellaneous functions that you might import in /any/ app -- in that case, move it outside the current package.
