Nick Coghlan <[email protected]> added the comment:
While I like the idea of this change, the "partially initialized" addition is
fairly subtle, and relatively easy to miss.
Perhaps append "(most likely due to a circular import)" to the partially
initialized case?:
AttributeError: partially initialized "module 'spam' has no attribute 'ham'
(most likely due to a circular import).
Crucially, for folks encountering the error for the first time, that also
introduces them to the main phrase they may want to search for: "circular
import".
The "most likely" weasel wording stems from the fact that the problem won't
always be with the circular import - they may have just straight up referenced
the wrong module or the wrong attribute name, so the apparently circular import
is an error.
