yes, I figured this much and I already wrapped my module with a ModuleFacade object which has lazy properties attributes [1]. this solves the problem of import my module, but if the module importing my module is itself being imported, I am back to square one. and my module is being used by many people. I guess I'd need at least a way to detect that somebody is trying to use the lazy properties of my module facade while an import is "still active". is there such a mechanism ? cheers, sebastien.
