Is there a good solution to the following problem? I have a library whose components I would like to separate into distinct modules. These components inherit from a common base class that provides common functionality (the inheritance is important only for implementation; there's a separate ABC mechanism for typing).
Now as that stands, there is no problem. Each module could import the common base class. Unfortunately the base class itself references many of the components (the reason for this is that supplies operator implementations (like __add__) which are shortcuts for the components themselves). This leads to a circular dependency - the base class wants to import the components, which in turn want to import the base class. Is there any standard solution to this?
