you seem to have a recursive import going on Awesome imports helper, helper imports awesome this is always a cauise of problems & is usually a code smell. if these two modules are that heavily interlinked then you probably want all the code in one single module. -- All syllogisms have three parts, therefore this is not a syllogism. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
