Unfortunately, I just noticed it's actually incorrect in a pretty important part In my original example, I said, "because of the circularity, this will *also* happen if you import 'a' first." This statement is actually false. Importing 'a' first in that example will result in a.util == b.util:util, not a.util=b.util. I made the mistake because I was for some reason thinking that 'a' was going to execute its import while being imported from b.util, and in that scenario it will not. That means there *is* an ordering dependency, and an ambiguity like this one can lie dormant until long after you've introduced the circularity. :-( ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17636> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
