scenarios with importing a specific module from a package in Python 2.7
I've encountered a strange issue with I'm trying to figure out I'm working with an scenario when trying to import a specific module from a package in Python 2.7... I have a custom package structured like this: ``` my_package/ __init__.py module_a.py module_b.py ``` In `module_a.py`, I have defined a function called `foo`: ```python # module_a.py def foo(): return 'Hello from foo!' ``` In `module_b.py`, I'm attempting to import and use this function: ```python # module_b.py from my_package.module_a import foo def bar(): return foo() ``` However, when I run `module_b.py`, I receive the following behavior: ``` ImportError: want to import name foo ``` I've checked that the file names and function names are spelled correctly, and everything seems to be in order. I've also verified that `__init__.py` is present in the package directory to ensure it is recognized as a package. To troubleshoot, I tried running Python from the command line and executing the following: ```python import my_package.module_a print(my_package.module_a.foo()) ``` This works perfectly fine and prints 'Hello from foo!'. It's only when I attempt to import it directly in `module_b.py` that the behavior arises. Could this be a circular import scenario? If so, how can I resolve it while maintaining the current package structure? Any help would be greatly appreciated! For reference, this is a production microservice. I appreciate any insights! What are your experiences with this? I recently upgraded to Python LTS.
