python - How do you prevent a circular import exception

Question

I have been trying to link a main module with another module, both need each other to perform a specific task, so I imported them to each other, but I get an error about circular importation. I've been trying to avoid this but it keeps raising the error, please how do I correct this??

Answer 1

Simply create a 3rd module, from which you can then import the functions, classes and variables to the 2 other scripts. Normally issues like these are signs of poor code structuring. 2 separate scripts should never both depend on one another at the same time. Avoid such design blunders in the future.
