AFAICT from that convoluted mess, because there are two rabbit holes, __main__.Foo.foo and foo.Foo.foo, and you poked "foo" down the wrong one. In any case the other one is not the right one -- as you have already been advised, circular imports are evil. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
