Technical point : almost everything happens at runtime in Python. the 'def', 'class' and 'import' statements are executable statements, and the first import of a given module imply the execution of all top- level statements in this module. So, if modA has a top-level import statement referencing modB (directly or indirectly FWIW) and modB itself has a top-level import statement referencing modA, it just cannot work, period. Now this "limitation" is a GoodThing(tm) from a design POV - such cyclic dependencies are something you want to avoid even in languages that allow it, because they make for very unmananageable code.
